It was great to be part of the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit in London, listen to some fantastic speakers and panel discussions, and watch how the pace and scope of innovation in the water sector is proceeding. In our panel of Expanding Reuse in the Face of Water Scarcity, we had an opportunity to debate how the impact of climate change and water scarcity is affecting both people and industries alike. Alternative sources of water, from both a centralised (in the instance of water utilities) and decentralised (in the instances of industry) perspective have cemented themselves in our society in our journey to reduce water stress, decrease dependency on scarce water resources and increase water sustainability. Water reuse forms part of sustainability planning and water stewardship for industry, which is being increasingly subjected to government regulation as well as voluntary and mandatory reporting. Volumetric Based Accounting (VBA) for water has now been accepted as part of financial reporting. We at #GWF take this to heart. Part of our contribution towards making a tangible difference is providing practical, valuable, and actionable service and decision support systems through our WaterLeader initiative. Our WATER RISK DETECTOR and WATER STEWARDSHIP tools directly support the private sector in achieving their sustainability goals and commitments, providing operational oversight, site accreditation, reporting and disclosure. Reach out to Gary Vincent, Brynn Williams, Chris Bold and Markus Stolz to find out how we can assist industry in improving water efficiency, promote water stewardship and assist with voluntary and mandatory reporting. #WorldWaterTech #GWF #waterstewardship #sustainabilityreporting #sustainablebusiness #WTRLDR #waterleader

Environmental engineer optimizing our water provision | Co-founder Seamless: Griet Bosselaers Minimalistic Bridal Ware
Attending the World Water Congress in Toronto is a vital opportunity to discuss how we can ensure a sustainable, resilient, and equitable water future, with this year’s topics ranging from water security and climate resilience to innovative technologies and net-zero strategies. 🌱💧 I felt privileged to contribute to the discussion on becoming a net-zero utility in one of technical sessions alongside experts like Alexis de Kerchove, Ruqiao (Emma) Shen, PhD, P.Eng and Ryan Brotchie, who are pioneering sustainability efforts in water companies across Canada, Australia, and Europe. 🌍🤝 At Pidpa, we are definitely heading in the right direction by implementing well-thought-out strategies such as: - Transitioning from chemical to biological adsorptive deferrization in our water treatment plants 🔄 - Phasing out UV disinfection, having already ceased chlorine dosing. 🚫🌊 - Maximizing self-generation of electricity and minimizing energy consumption throughout the entire water line, particularly by switching from (water tower) level-controlled to pressure-controlled water distribution. ⚡💧 Sharing what you do, will be doing, and why you are doing it is of such great importance—not just to pick up new ideas but also to get inspired to go the extra mile.🌍💪 #WorldWaterCongress #NetZero #Water

𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫: 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐒𝐑𝐃 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 💦 👣 The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), effective from January 2024, requires companies to report on a broad spectrum of sustainability issues, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The directive aims to enhance transparency and comparability of sustainability information across the EU. However, the extensive CSRD reporting requirements related to water can be challenging for many businesses, particularly due to the common lack of data on water usage and its impacts. To help businesses navigate these challenges, #NWPmember Water Footprint Implementation is hosting a series of webinars focused on CSRD and its connection to water. The next webinar is scheduled for 9 October at 12:00 CET. This free session is open to everyone and offers valuable insights into how understanding your water footprint can support your compliance with CSRD water reporting requirements.

💧 Understanding CSRD: Where to report on 'water'? 💡 At the heart of CSRD is the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), consisting of 12 topical and cross-cutting standards. While ESRS E3: Water and marine resources is dedicated entirely to water, it’s important to recognize that water reporting impacts every environmental dimension (ESRS E1-5) and even extends into the social dimension with ESRS S3: Affected Communities. At Water Footprint Implementation, we provide regular webinars and other services to help your company comply with CSRD, and bring innovative solutions for your water management.
