The Business Importance of Water Scarcity and Stewardship

In the latest episode of Sustainability Leaders, I sit down to discuss growing water-related business risks for businesses and the importance of water stewardship, with Jason Morrison, President of the Pacific Institute. Morrison is also Head of the CEO Water Mandate, an initiative of the UN Global Compact. 

“Water risks such as scarcity or flooding are escalating, which makes water stewardship a really critical topic for businesses,” said Morrison. “Unfortunately, many companies still today focus predominantly on the water risks that are in their own operations and are underestimating the water-related risks that are in their supply chains or even for that matter in the key markets where they're looking to sell their products and services.”
