23. 3 Most Challenging Barriers to
Implementing Corporate Water
Strategies
Reporting & Disclosure

24. 1. Disclosure requests are ever increasing - it’s
important to be prepared to tell an accurate and
thorough story
2. Companies are excelling in data gathering and
internal risk assessment; there are opportunities
to go further
3. Water stewardship “outside the four walls” is key
– companies are lagging in their ability to discuss
water stewardship in their supply chain and
community

can you do beyond reduction targets?
