As well as our highly successful Global Water series, the Water Footprint Summit follows our sell-out New York (September 2008), London (May 2007 & 2008), Chicago (September 2007) and San Francisco (February 2008) carbon and environmental footprint events, which have attracted over 1000 delegates attending from major FMCG and Retail brands worldwide.
The Water Footprint Summit will bring together similar representatives from across the FMCG and Retail supply chain to define the key issues that businesses need to look at to drive the improvement of their water impact.
This groundbreaking summit has been designed to simplify the strategy, presenting a road map to help businesses prioritize water in their sustainable initiatives not only within their own operations but throughout their supply chains. WHY INVEST IN WATER FOOTPRINTING?- Evaluate the business drivers, short terms benefits and cost savings to gain business buy-in whilst correlating water to the broader sustainability issues like energy, waste and carbon. WHAT – Scope global strategies for a local problem and compare the most prominent methodologies in the absence of standards whilst looking at developing a common and agreed methodology to understand HOW to measure water usage throughout product life cycles. Identify hot-spots in different value chains to ascertain WHERE to reduce your water consumption. TAKE ACTION by learning from the experience of key thought leaders that have invested in implementing water initiatives and LOOK BEYOND just footprints by exploring the way forward towards examining the impact of your corporate water usage.
