About

Water stewardship recognises and secures the social, cultural, environmental and economic value of freshwater.

The Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS), International Water Stewardship Standard, first published in 2014, is a globally-applicable framework that drives, recognises and rewards good site and catchment-based water actions. Companies including Nestlé, Olam, Ecolab and Ingham’s are incorporating water stewardship in their supply chains to manage risk, improve practices and enhance reputation.

To address evolving water risks and opportunities, the AWS Standard has been updated through a multi-stakeholder consultation process. Experienced, new and prospective water stewards can learn more about the 2019 refresh of the AWS Standard by joining this webinar live on World Water Day.
