WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Almost 60% of Global 500 companies using CDP to guide their response to water challenges have already experienced water-related detrimental business impacts such as supply chain disruption, brand damage, or operational delays. Water Stewardship is increasingly recognized by our investors as a means to confidently manage local water challenges and mitigate substantive business risks.”
Cate Lamb. CDP.
“The European Commission’s Communication on the Blueprint to Safeguard Eropean Water Resources reported on the status of WFD implementation while a number of concrete tools to reach sustainable water management. Water Stewardship was amongst the number of actions recommended to achieve these goals”.
Nicola Notaro. DG Environment at the European Commission
“Companies are increasingly asked from different stakeholders to provide information about their water use. The European Water Stewardship (EWS) standard is an answer to address the different stakeholder expectations. 2010 we were one of the companies participating in the initial EWS pilot program with our site in Ludwigshafen. Now BASF has set itself a new corporate goal to establish sustainable water management in production sites located in areas of water stress, based on the EWS standard".
