Corporate Water Stewardship

Businesses are major water users through direct operations and across value chains. They are key stakeholders in helping solve the water crisis. Due to the scale at which some corporations operate, a single pivotal change by a global business can result in significant improvements in water resilience. 

The Pacific Institute is a leading global force mobilizing the private sector to take water action. We conduct research and develop innovative tools to inform and inspire business decisions. Since 2007, the Pacific Institute has convened the CEO Water Mandate, an initiative in partnership with the United Nations Global Compact. We also directly engage CEOs from major companies through the Water Resilience Coalition. Launched in 2020, the Water Resilience Coalition convenes some of the world’s most influential companies and CEOs to build water resilience in their operations and supply chains, and to take collective action in basins around the world. The Water Resilience Coalition’s 2030 Roadmap for collective action includes scaling proven solutions in 100 priority basins, advancing business innovation, leveraging finance, and measuring impact.
