🌿 **Sustainable Water Management: Creating Value from Waste Water** 💧 Water scarcity is a growing problem that poses a significant risk to businesses worldwide, affecting operations and leading to increased costs. Traditional water management approaches often overlook the potential of reusing and recycling wastewater, which can be a critical oversight in resource management. The solution lies in innovative sustainable water management practices. By implementing technologies and processes focused on the treatment and reuse of wastewater, businesses can convert a costly waste into a valuable resource. This shift not only ensures a more efficient use of water but also reduces environmental impact and enhances the company's resilience to water scarcity. For actionable insights on integrating sustainable water management into your business practices, explore this comprehensive discussion: [Advancing Sustainable Water Management](https://lnkd.in/dJzsjBrv) Is your business ready to reinterpret wastewater as a resource and step towards a more sustainable operational model? Or will it continue to face the growing challenges of water scarcity unprotected? #WaterManagement #Sustainability #ResourceEfficiency #SeedsForSustainability

Great News for Water: The Mandatory ESRS Framework Elevates Corporate Water Stewardship from 2024 From January 1, 2024, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are in effect, and companies committed to being Water Positive will be ahead of the curve. With this new focus on sustainability, businesses are now required to report on water management and usage across all operations and supply chains. There are 12 ESRS, and key aspects to report regarding water include: 💦 Total quantity of water used, reflecting the impacts of business activities on water resources. 💦 Total water recycled and reused. 💦 Identification of significant opportunities and risks associated with water dependency. 💦 Water consumption in areas of high risk and water stress. 💦 Strategies implemented to prevent negative impacts and support broader EU water objectives. 💦 Changes in total water storage. 💦 Water consumption in relation to revenue (optional). The #WaterPositive initiative can complement the #ESRS in several significant ways: 💡 Enhanced Compliance: Not just efficiently managing water, but also contributing to its regeneration and improvement, positioning companies to meet and potentially exceed reporting standards. 💡 Risk Reduction: Implementing sustainable water use practices to lessen vulnerability to shortages and other water-related challenges. 💡 Contribution to Broader Goals: Supporting EU water objectives by creating a positive impact on the aquatic ecosystem and communities. 💡 Corporate Reputation Enhancement: Increasingly valued by consumers, investors, and other stakeholders. 💡 Innovation and Efficiency: Driving innovation in water conservation and purification technologies and practices, increasing operational efficiency, and reducing long-term costs. #europeanunion #sustainability #water European Commission European Desalination Society (EDS) AEDyR ALADYR Global Water Intelligence (GWI)

CSRD is it in your in-tray? The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive commences on the 1st of Jan 2024, compelling organisations in the EMEAT (and we have seen compliance as a requirement built into contracts in South America and Asia too) to report across four broad categories: >Cross-cutting: General principles, strategy, governance and materiality assessment >Environment: Climate change, pollution, water and marine resources, biodiversity, resource use and circular economy >Social: Own workforce, workers in the value chain, affected communities, consumers and end-users >Governance: Governance, risk management, internal control and business conduct

Strengthening Environmental Reporting Under BRSR Companies filing Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reports (BRSR) are taking a positive step towards greater transparency and accountability. However, there is still room for improvement in the quality and comprehensiveness of these reports. The BRSR can be a powerful tool for promoting corporate sustainability. However, the current reporting framework is not as effective as it could be. Recommendations for strengthening environmental reporting under BRSR : 🌀Requiring companies to report on a wider range of environmental indicators. 🌀Making it mandatory for companies to set and disclose sustainability targets. 🌀Ensuring that BRSR reports are independently verified. By implementing these recommendations, we can make BRSR a more effective tool for promoting corporate sustainability.

Has anyone in my network read the rule? Is this real or fluff? I love the focus on sustainability and working to achieve net-zero emissions ... but I also side-eye initiatives that are simply greenwashing and won't actually move the needle forward. “As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to support U.S. manufacturing and climate action, these new standards will help Federal agencies prioritize the purchase of sustainable products and services certified to EPA-recommended standards and ecolabels that create good-paying jobs right here at home,” said Brenda Mallory, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The final rule will help advance the Biden administration’s Federal Sustainability Plan, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions and other procurement goals by 2050. https://lnkd.in/edvkgNmR
