A new international report by the Carbon Disclosure Project has investigated the impact of water scarcity and other water-related issues on some of the world's largest companies in water-intensive industries.  The study found that nearly 40 per cent of companies surveyed are already experiencing water problems and nearly 90 per cent have developed water policies, strategies and plans. Drawing on some of the best practices of respondent companies, the report provided a number of recommendations:

·         Create a board or executive committee specifically responsible for water that sets specific targets for absolute reductions in water use.

·         Conduct a risk assessment of direct suppliers and engage with suppliers to improve water management.

·         Invest in new technologies and approaches, such as site-level water metering, low water-use technologies, wastewater treatment and recycling.

·         Collaborate with stakeholders, such as communities, NGOs and government representatives, and participate in business initiatives that seek to address water issues, such as the UN CEO Water Mandate.
