NPWI is an ambition that manifests in water-stressed basins to create impact where it matters most. Delivering NPWI contributes toward reducing water stress in its three dimensions: availability (quantity), quality, and access. It ensures the company’s contributions exceed impacts on water stress in the same region. NPWI is quantifiable against the three dimensions of water stress, aligns with established methodologies (e.g., context and science-based water targets), and can be measured via both short-term outputs and long-term outcomes.
