Companies that take proactive steps to better manage water use in their direct operations and supply chains stand to benefit from reduced exposure to water scarcity risks, reduced operating costs, and the creation of more resilient watersheds – in turn, supporting local communities.
This webinar, hosted by the UN Global Compact Networks in the Nordics and The Pacific Institute, is specifically designed to help companies understand how to address their impacts on water and implement measures to build water resilience across their operations. UN Global Compact and The Pacific Institute collaborate globally on the water issue within the CEO Water Mandate.
Keynote speakers:
- Mark Cassalia, Senior Business Engagement Manager at the Pacific Institute.
- Virginia Newton-Lewis, Water Sustainability Director at Grundfos.
Outcomes:
- Attendees will understand the business case for taking action to build water resilience.
- Participants are equipped with practical insights on how to start developing a sustainable water strategy, the types of actions that can be implemented to build water resilience (focusing on direct operations), and how to disclose progress to stakeholders.
- Participants understand the role the UN Global Compact’s Water Resilience Assessment Framework (WRAF) and CEO Water Mandate can play in supporting companies’ journey to building water resilience.
