Working on Water -Why better reporting is needed

This event will examine the current state of water due diligence in the supply chain and how investors, regulators and companies should act to improve measurement and reporting on the impact of water in the textile supply chain.

The textile sector is a major consumer of water during its manufacturing processes. This makes it vulnerable to and contributes to the risks arising from increased water scarcity.

Understanding water use and how water use in the textile sector affects workers and local communities is critical to a sustainable industry.

Companies need to engage with their supply chains to understand how they use water and the risk of water stress at each facility, recognizing the variation between different river basins and different water demands.

By mapping their water use and associated risk, companies can target interventions to reduce consumption and increase water quality and availability, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
