Description: 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.
