The US’ Shift in Water Resources Mentality | WWD Weekly Digest

Jan. 6, 2022
U.S. water stress conversations have led conglomerates to think differently about water resources and managing their water use.

The value of water is only increasing and the world is starting to take notice. Major corporations are investing in water technologies companies, and conglomerates outside the water sector are making pledges to better use, reuse and protect this natural resource.

Emilio Tenuta, senior Vice President and chief sustainability officer for EcoLab, discusses the context through which the world now views water and how Ecolab is meeting that change head on. He also talks about how conversations on water are changing in the business world, and what to expect as water resource management becomes a bigger public conversation.
