Water and Corporate Responsibility

Every company is in some way dependent on water resources for its activities and therefore an increasing number of companies start to explore how they can take responsibility for a sustainable water use.

The Swedish Water House has formed a reference group for Water and Corporate Responsibility. The group gives input to SWH’s/SIWI’s representative in the Swedish committee for creating an ISO-standard for global water footprint. It discusses different aspects of measuring companies’ water use and water impacts, as well as how different tools for measurement could be harmonized in order to give comparable data.

Within the topic of Water and Corporate Responsibility, the Swedish Water House also wants to strengthen the connections between Swedish companies and international organizations working on the issue. Further, SWH desires to contribute in creating meeting places for Swedish companies who would like to cooperate with other actors about the issue of water use and water impacts.
