In 2009, WBCSD and IUCN released Water for Business – the first online guide specifically designed for businesses to help them manage water more sustainably by providing them with an overview of water tools and initiatives which they can use or engage with.
The third edition is now out and was developed in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and SustainAbility. The guide recognizes that one initiative alone will not satisfy the needs of every business, local community or stakeholder group. It outlines the benefits of the different tools available and illustrates how a combination of complementary tools can best meet wide ranging needs.
