The global water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) crisis remains severe and taking action to achieve SDG 6 is essential from all sectors and stakeholders – business have a central role to play. Companies that have invested in WASH in their operations, supply chains, and communities have built a more resilient workforce and business, yet we know that many companies continue to grapple with how to best take action on WASH as part of broader sustainability strategies.
This session will provide the opportunity for interactive discussion on:
1. New guidance on what “good” WASH looks like in 2024 and beyond
2. Insights into the new regulatory and business case for corporate action
3. Concrete examples on how companies can take action – including new WASH Collective Action opportunities
