The Water Council announced that it has partnered with SCS Global Services to improve corporate water stewardship outcomes and reporting.

This new partnership will include the development and rollout of programs aimed to help companies move toward credible water stewardship that addresses enterprise-wide challenges and opportunities.

Multiple factors are influencing companies to address water-related challenges in their value chains. These challenges include supply disruptions, climate impacts, and increasing pressure from stakeholders. High on the list is an expanding call for companies to demonstrate tangible Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) results, including an expectation to prioritize water-related actions and commitments with the same vigor with which companies have been addressing greenhouse gas reduction and recycling initiatives.

The Water Council, an internationally acclaimed nonprofit organization dedicated to freshwater innovation, is a global partner for water stewardship. SCS Global Services is an international provider of third-party verification of ESG performance.

“As The Water Council expands our water stewardship services, it is exciting to start 2022 with the announcement of this new collaboration with SCS Global Services, as they have a strong global reputation as a third-party verifier of environmental and sustainability performance,” said Dean Amhaus, The Water Council President and CEO. “We have informally worked with SCS for several years and see them as a critical partner as we roll out a new water stewardship program early this year.”

“We look forward to collaborating with The Water Council through this partnership, as they consistently bring a forward-thinking approach and inclusivity to water stewardship,” said Rae Mindock, SCS Global Services’ Program Manager of Responsible Water Practices. “We are excited to roll out new programs this year for more companies to benefit from and grow with confidence in their corporate water stewardship practices.”
