The UN Global Compact is the world\u2019s largest corporate sustainability initiative with over 7000 corporate participants and other stakeholders from more than 140 countries.

They put forward metrics that can begin to harmonize practice and also provide guidance for defining what to report. It is our hope these Guidelines drive convergence and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">harmonization with respect to how companies report their water management practices while helping to minimize reporting burdens, thus allowing companies to allocate more time and resources to actively manage water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pacific Institute (representing the Mandate Secretariat) led the development of the Guidelines, seeking input from organizations and initiatives with expertise in this area. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as a strategic adviser and provided input throughout this process. CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), World Resources Institute (WRI), and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) were project partners, offering insight regarding water disclosure practices and helping to ensure that the Guidelines built on existing approaches where possible and appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project team regularly consulted with the Mandate\u2019s Water Disclosure Working Group (WDWG)\u2014comprising representatives from many Mandate-endorsing companies\u2014as well as with the Corporate Water Disclosure Stakeholder Advisory Group (CWDSAG), which included a variety of representatives from civil society groups, water-related tool developers, trade associations, government, and intergovernmental organizations. A complete list of WDWG and CWDSAG members can be found in Appendix D. Consultation with these individuals was geared toward ensuring that the Guidelines remain user-friendly while addressing the wide array of company and stakeholder interests in corporate water disclosure.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1564772257050{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-top-color: #dbdbdb !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #dbdbdb !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar title=&#8221;Continue on with this Guide&#8221; sidebar_id=&#8221;thim_sidebar_1564772184&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8456&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]Jason Morrison, Peter Schulte Pacific Institute pacinst.org[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8813&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Lauren Koopman and Natalie Teear PricewaterhouseCoopers pwc.com [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8814&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Cate Lamb, Karina de Souza, and Marcus Norton &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"coauthors":[655],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8354"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8354"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8841,"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8354\/revisions\/8841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceowatermandate.org\/disclosure2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=8354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
