Water Stewardship

Environmental Management
Water stewardship is the responsible management of shared water resources through understanding and addressing water risks in the context of the wider catchment. It goes beyond operational water efficiency to engage with stakeholders, support water governance, and contribute to the sustainability of shared water resources. Frameworks include the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard, CDP Water Security questionnaire, and SBTN water targets. BRSR and ESRS (E3) both require water-related disclosures.
