The CEO Water Mandate seeks to build an international movement of committed companies, both leaders and learners. In this spirit, the initiative is open to companies of all sizes and from all sectors, and from all parts of the world. The initiative requires the endorsement of a company’s Chief Executive Officer, or equivalent.
Participation in the CEO Water Mandate is restricted to existing corporate endorsers of the UN Global Compact. However, companies that are not currently signatories of the UN Global Compact may endorse the CEO Water Mandate provided they intend to join the UNGC within six months of endorsing the CEO Water Mandate. Endorsing companies are required to report annually on their implementation progress, per the Transparency Policy.
A company wishing to join the initiative should indicate their endorsement of the CEO Water Mandate and its six elements by submitting a letter, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, to: ceowatermandate@unglobalcompact.org
