BSR Insight | The Art and Science of Reporting Water-Related Risks
In 2011, S2C Global Systems plans to perform the world's first large-volume export of water in order to distribute water from Alaska to India for pharmaceutical, high-tech manufacturing, and other uses—highlighting the impacts of growing water scarcity on heavy-water users around the world.
At the BSR Conference 2010, we will be dedicating a session to emerging practices related to water disclosure and exploring strategies and tactics for communicating about water-related risks and stewardship efforts. With panelists from Intel, SABMiller, and the CDP’s Water Disclosure Project, we'll discuss the following:
- When it comes to reporting, what’s the right balance of qualitative and quantitative information?
- Companies have many ways to manage water-related risks—such as engaging with local communities and suppliers—but what is the best way to report on these activities when there are no relevant indicators?
- What's the best way to integrate this information into your company’s existing reporting framework on environmental issues?
BSR Conference attendees can suggest additional discussion questions for this session through the event's social networking site.
