Description
Water is quickly becoming one of the most material ESG issues for businesses—because it affects cost, continuity, compliance, and reputation.
Consider just a few realities shaping business today
• Around 2.2 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water.
• Roughly 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity at least one month each year.
• Agriculture accounts for about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, while industry is a major user in many regions—meaning supply chains can be just as exposed as operations.
For companies, that translates into real business risk: production stoppages, higher utility and treatment costs, tighter regulations, community conflict, and brand damage. The good news is that water conservation is one of the most practical ESG topics to tackle—because you can measure it, manage it, and improve it through clear projects and disciplined reporting.
This course is designed to help you turn "we should use less water" into an actionable, ESG-aligned program.
In this course, you'll learn how to
• Understand business water use (withdrawal, consumption, discharge) and why the difference matters
• Identify and prioritize water-related risks across sites, basins, and suppliers
• Build a water baseline using meters, process mapping, and simple water-balance logic
• Select high-impact conservation levers (efficiency, reuse/recycling, leakage control, process redesign)
• Create KPIs, targets, and governance that keep water performance on track
• Build a practical project pipeline, including cost/benefit thinking and stakeholder buy-in
• Connect your water program to ESG expectations and common disclosure approaches
• Communicate progress credibly and avoid common pitfalls that lead to weak or "greenwashed" claims
By the end of the course, you'll have a clear framework for assessing your organization's water footprint, prioritizing conservation opportunities, and building an ESG-ready water strategy that supports both sustainability goals and business resilience.
Whether you work in sustainability/ESG, operations, EHS, procurement, facilities, or finance—or you're a consultant supporting clients—this course will give you practical tools to reduce water use and strengthen your company's ESG performance.
