Pre- Conference Workshop
Monday 15 December 2008
0900 – 1700
Led By Jonathan C. Kaledin, Blue Water Certification Program Director, The Nature Conservancy, Matthew Wenban-Smith, Director OneWorldStandards , Stuart Orr, Freshwater Policy Officer, WWF-UK And Brian Richter, Director, The Sustainable Waters Program, The Nature Conservancy
.
Trying to get internal buy-in? Wondering how to communicate your water footprints to your consumers without major misrepresentation of data? The lack of standards is currently hindering companies from being able to set internal targets and benchmark themselves externally.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) has been conceptualizing and developing standards that will be applied within the water certification business it is establishing. The AWS's standards workshop will unveil its current work and thinking on these standards.
- Should such standards be site specific, watershed based, or company specific, even for multi-national companies?
- What goals should water standards be aimed at achieving--economic and social goals only, or environmental goals too?
- To what extent should "supply-chain issues and analyses" be built into water standards developed for the private sector?
- How will water standards for the private sector and water standards developed for the public sector interact or complement (or compete) with each other?
- What are the best existing methodologies for determining water use and the impacts of such use?
