Problems cause high costs, investments deliver strong returns

Water scarcity is coming to the formerly water-rich continent of Europe. Regulations such as CSRD, the Nature Restoration Law, and Principle for a new EU Blue Deal are driving companies to report on their water-related impact, risks, and opportunities, and revamp their operating models, products and services to minimize adverse effects on water resources. Germany adopted the National Water Strategy 2050 in March 2023, aiming to enhance water security in the country. At the EU level, CSRD/ESRS-E3 on Water & Marine Resources will expect first-wave adopters to report their water management and performance in FY25 for FY24.

The urgency to address water-related challenges goes beyond regulatory requirements. Unusual and more frequent droughts and floods, attributed to changing climate patterns, serve as red flags for businesses, governments, and society at large. Germany faced its hottest, driest, and sunniest summer on record in 2022. Other European countries, including France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, are also grappling with the impacts of climate change on water resources. Dry spells and heatwaves have become more severe and frequent, affecting the agricultural sector. There is little time left.

“It becomes imperative for business to more actively manage the water-related risks, impact and opportunity, integrate water into their corporate sustainability strategy, adapt more comprehensive water stewardship policies with concrete performance targets at both corporate and site-level, and taking timing actions towards a water resilience future and secure their business continuity.”
