Community Water InitiativesOur community water programs are designed to support healthy watersheds and sustainable programs to balance the water used throughout our production process. We do this by working on a wide range of locally relevant initiatives, such as watershed protection; expanding community drinking water and sanitation access; agricultural water use efficiency; and education and awareness programs.
One of our largest collaborations is with the We are working with The Nature Conservancy to review our current community water initiatives and develop methodologies for quantifying their impact. We also are involved with the "Water Footprint Working Group" to develop standards and guidelines for water footprint accounting and to define the concept of water neutrality. This work complements our engagement with the CEO Water Mandate, a joint initiative of the United Nations Global Compact and the government of Sweden. The CEO Water Mandate seeks to build an international movement of committed companies working to develop strategies and solutions to help address the water challenges facing the world today.
