Step-by-Step Guidance on Corporate Water Disclosure

This guide from the World Resources Institute (WRI) explains how companies can use the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to measure and report water-related risks, specifically to assist in completing the CDP 2013 Water Disclosure Questionnaire.

• Water-related business impacts, such as property damage from flooding and disruptions to operations or supply chains, can be financially significant, with some companies facing costs of up to $200 million in 2011.
• The CDP Water Program serves as a primary platform for voluntary corporate water disclosure, supported by over 500 investor signatories who represent more than $57 trillion in assets.
• The Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas is a public tool providing granular data on global water risks—including reputational, regulatory, water quality, and water quantity risks—to help companies evaluate threats to their assets and suppliers.
• WRI aligned the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas with the CDP 2013 Water Questionnaire to help companies answer specific questions regarding operations in water-stressed regions, the proportion of operations at risk, and supply chain exposure.
