Water Management and Stewardship: Taking stock of corporate water behaviour

The purpose of this paper is to ‘take stock’ of the discussions, based on what private companies are doing - and not doing, or doing less - in relation to water management and particularly in relation to ‘water stewardship’. These pages do not try to trace the history and origins of corporate water stewardship. The subject of discussion here is multi-faceted and complex. In ‘taking stock’ of the debate, this ‘discussion paper’ asks as many questions as it attempts to answer – hence its title.
