NPWI: BRIDGING BOUNDARIES IN CORPORATE WATER STEWARDSHIP
August 29 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CEST
Date: 29 August 2024
Time: 14:00-15:30 CET
Location: Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center, A2, Level 6
Session Summary:
This session introduces Net Positive Water Impact (NPWI) and discusses it from the perspective of bridging application scales and aligning with other corporate water stewardship approaches. This will be discussed from the views of the framework developers, other thought leaders, corporates and practitioners.
Session Description:
tools and frameworks in the corporate water stewardship (CWS) space are rapidly evolving through the input from a vibrant community of corporates, practitioners and thought leaders. This session has three parts: Firstly, it showcases Net Positive Water Impact (NPWI), and how it can help build basin-wide water resilience in 100 priority basins. Historically, many corporates have undertaken their CWS approaches independently or in siloes. NPWI moves beyond site-level impacts to the basin scale, promoting collective action and partnerships at broader scales helping to bridge borders and drive catalytic impact. Getting CWS tools, frameworks and ambitions to increasingly complement each other is an essential step to making CWS clear, accessible and implementable. Secondly, thought leaders of other CWS frameworks, tools and standards will weigh in on the alignment and complementarity of NPWI with their respective CWS approaches. NPWI has been intentionally developed to align with several leading approaches to ensure that corporate partners integrate and maximize their stewardship efforts and meet multiple corporate objectives and SDGs. In the third part of this session, the floor is given to corporates and practitioners actively piloting or implementing NPWI and other CWS approaches. We will hear about their experiences, insights and progress.
