Last week, Mallory Cannon, UN Global Compact Network USA's Climate and Environment Program Coordinator, spoke with Hajar Yagkoubi in a live studio talk show session during World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden. This session focused on how the American #privatesector can engage in collective action to safeguard our water supply. Our recently published #whitepaper on corporate water stewardship was highlighted as a resource for companies. Mallory discussed how businesses can enhance their water stewardship strategies in the U.S. through collective action by drawing on six case studies: Microsoft, Cargill, PepsiCo, Gotham Greens, S&P Global, and Xylem. The scale and stakes of the water crisis demand that every organization, large or small, has a role in amplifying the impact and expediting progress toward achieving SDG 6. Read the full whitepaper by visiting https://lnkd.in/gp4DqwpZ. To learn more about how your company can get involved with corporate sustainability initiatives with the United Nations Global Compact, Network USA will be holding an event during NYC Climate Week on Thursday, September 26th.
