Water security is an economic imperative. Increasingly, private sector businesses are recognizing that their financial stability and operational efficiency are tied to sustainable water management. But does the private sector truly have a vested interest in developing and investing in resilient water infrastructure? A growing body of research indicates that businesses face significant risks due to unsustainable watershed conditions beyond their immediate operations. Studies show that 53% of Global 500 companies have already experienced detrimental water-related impacts, and 68% identify water as a direct risk to their business. Even ultra-water-efficient factories cannot escape the economic repercussions of broader regional water scarcity, pollution, and regulatory constraints. This webinar, "Water Resilience for Business," will explore how the private sector can turn water challenges into investment and business resilience opportunities. Companies that proactively integrate water resilience strategies—such as alternative water sourcing, smart metering, and reuse technologies—are securing their supply while simultaneously strengthening local water security. The financial community is also taking notice, with shareholder resolutions on water risk quadrupling in the last decade and growing interest in investing in businesses that demonstrate effective water stewardship. The discussion will showcase real-world case studies, such as Virgin Active’s 62% reduction in water usage across 30 Western Cape branches through retrofitting and alternative water systems, and Growthpoint Properties' Estuaries office park, which achieved 70% water savings through smart metering. We will also hear from key industry leaders on how companies can diversify their water sources, implement innovative solutions, and collaborate with public institutions to drive a more resilient water future.
