Friday, January 22, 2021 | Pacific Daylight, 6:00-8:00 AM
The Global Compact Local Networks from the Latin America region joined to highlight the importance of the CEO Water Mandate and the Water Action Hub. The Water Action Hub is a global online collaboration and knowledge sharing platform for water sustainability developed by the CEO Water Mandate. The Pacific Institute is Co-Secretariat of the CEO Water Mandate, a UN Global Compact initiative that mobilizes business leaders on water, sanitation, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This event aimed to provide a space for Latin American signatories of the CEO Water Mandate to share their experience regarding the importance of their actions around water stewardship and how it impacts their business. The webinar also served as an opportunity to encourage other companies to publicize their actions and join the initiative. Cases from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru were presented. Additionally, practices that contribute to meeting the SDG6 that were recognized in 2020 by the Global Compact Network Colombia were presented.
This event was a joint effort of the Global Compact Networks of Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala, the Swiss Embassy in Colombia, and the Pacific Institute.
