The CEO Water Mandate Secretariat welcomes Bayer as the latest company to join the Water Security through Stewardship Action Platform!
The CEO Water Mandate is excited to welcome Gruppo Hera as a signatory. Gruppo Hera is an Italian multiutility providing over 4.4 million citizens in 350 municipalities with waste management, drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and electricity and gas distribution services.
