Water risks—including scarcity, pollution, and regulatory pressure—are intensifying. As the impacts of climate change escalate, businesses face growing scrutiny to disclose and reduce their water footprint.

Assess your corporate water footprint using the globally recognised Water Footprint Standard
Report transparently and in alignment with ESG and ISSB frameworks
Act through science-based tools to restore and compensate for water use impacts
Strengthen stakeholder trust and climate resilience through data-driven stewardship
Expected Outcomes
Practical understanding of corporate water footprinting and compensation
Tools to support ESG disclosures and sustainability performance
Access to pre-certified water restoration projects through WFI’s platform
Inspiration to move from measurement to meaningful water action
Who should attend this event?
This session is tailored for:
Executives and decision-makers in water-intensive sectors
Sustainability and environmental managers
Investors, ESG analysts, and corporate reporting professionals
