Water availability and quality is a growing global challenge for many organizations as they struggle to meet regulatory requirements, stem rising costs, reduce impacts, and ensure business sustainability.
By 2030, the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts a 40% shortfall in water supply, and in 2015, two thirds of the largest corporations in the world estimated their exposure to water risk to be greater than US$ 2.5 billion.
Maintaining compliance, enhancing performance, and safeguarding reputations all depend on a sound water management approach. The environmental performance of an organization is increasingly being scrutinised by stakeholders such as clients, investors, communities, and regulators. However, there are possibilities for businesses to proactively evaluate, manage, and reduce their water risks.
A strategic approach to water:
Lemon Consultech helps with customers to comprehend, measure, and solve water related risks in all facets of the business, from project planning to improving operations or boosting output at current facilities.
In order to make risk management happen as an integrated element of everyday business operations rather than as a separate procedure, we assist customers in integrating the technical and operational aspects of water management into an organization's strategy and business operations. This may consist of:
- Identifying and prioritizing social, environmental, and economic water risks;
- Developing a business case that articulates key water risks and potential financial exposures;
- Understanding and solving permitting and compliance issues such as water pollutant management, operational discharges, and contamination potential;
- Defining a water strategy framework that meets operational and regulatory needs and objectives; and
- Developing actions and accountabilities for successful implementation frameworks such as water stewardship.
Reducing reputational and regulatory risk:
Lemon Consultech's technical assistance and exacting approach assist our clients in ensuring the quality and longevity of water resources for both their own needs and those of the larger community, in addition to assisting businesses in meeting regulatory requirements and increasingly strict pollutant discharge guidelines. We use our extensive knowledge of water concerns to assist businesses in streamlining processes, lowering water consumption, managing expenses, and ensuring compliance.
Organisations can maintain operations in the face of supply side difficulties by adopting a strategic approach to water management, while also preserving their reputation and competitive edge.
