Water Stewardship and Efficiency: Business Leadership and Action

Event Date: 24/08/2023 1:00 pm

Hosted during World Water Week, this webinar will offer up an afternoon of live, interactive webinar presentations and discussions – all dedicated to accelerating water stewardship and reducing water-related business risk.

The water crisis has been ranked as the third most important risk to global growth in the next 10 years, according to the World Economic Forum.
