Improving water stewardship
Water is essential to life. And it is an increasingly scare resource in many parts of the world.
Water stewardship is often approached from an environmental perspective. But water is also key to human rights. For example, access to safe and clean water is critical to people's health and wellbeing, cultural and spiritual practices, economic activities and the sustainability of the environment we all live in. Access to water, and responsible water usage, are human rights issues.
A human rights lens can help you better understand and manage the human rights risks of your company's approach to water stewardship.
