With input from the Valuing Water Finance Task Force and Investor Working Group and a range of NGO and scientific stakeholders, Ceres has developed a set of six expectations for investors to deploy in their engagement with investee companies on valuing water.
The expectations are underpinned by the following vision statement: Companies will recognize fresh water as the world’s most precious natural resource, essential to whole industries and all communities and ecosystems. By sustainably managing water use,
eliminating point and nonpoint pollution, taking collective action, adopting good governance practices, and supporting the human right to water, companies will achieve sustainable water management.
