In an attempt to gain insight into corporate perceptions of risks associated with water issues and plans to address these challenges, in 2013 and 2014 the Pacific Institute and VOX Global surveyed over 50 companies across industry sectors, the majority Fortune 500 and publicly traded. The research reveals most companies believed water challenges would significantly worsen in the next five years.

This report gives insight into the internal processes and perspectives that inform corporate business engagement with water issues.
