The CEO Water Mandate Secretariat welcomes Suntory Group, a global beverage company, as its latest endorsing company!
First convened in November 2017, the Task Force has seen some of its earliest benefit in linking together business representatives and government officials based on an urgent need and a common vision. It is this deepening relationship that will get the Western Cape through the worst drought in at least 300 years.
The CEO Water Mandate is excited to welcome Gruppo Hera as a signatory. Gruppo Hera is an Italian multiutility providing over 4.4 million citizens in 350 municipalities with waste management, drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and electricity and gas distribution services.
The Action Platform officially launches today! Over the next three years, the Platform will advance the Mandate’s pioneering work on water stewardship. It will work with companies, UN entities, governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to foster collective action, test water stewardship best practices, and mobilize business action.
The structure sets a new bar for reducing water consumption in commercial office buildings.
As of 2015, 29 percent of the world population did not have access to safely managed drinking water and 61 percent did not have access to a safely managed sanitation service.
The CEO Water Mandate Secretariat is happy to announce that on November 3rd, 2017 Sasol Inc. renewed their endorsement of the CEO Water Mandate.
Recent work suggests a growing number of companies are engaging in improved water management as part of water stewardship. But the tangible results remain unclear.
By the year 2030, water demand is expected to exceed sustainable supply by 40 percent, but only 42 percent of respondents from a recent survey conducted by Ecolab and GreenBiz Group cited water management as a strategic corporate initiative.
