The Ethics of Water Symposia

Water is complex, multi-faceted, and intersects with all facets of business in today’s climate. With water crises escalating and water resources under greater stress, leaders need a clear path for decision making and a trusted partner to guide them. Access to sufficient, clean water resources underpins almost all parts of a company’s value chain.
From operational continuity to secure supply chains to license to operate, water is often an overlooked but critical part of business & government functionality. With the United Nations forecasting that 90%+ of climate impacts will be experienced through changes to our water resources – natural disasters, contamination, flooding, or drought — our business and government leaders of the future must bring water management to the forefront of climate resilient strategies. Join us for a engaging and critical Symposia on the ethics of water and business on Monday, November 6th from 10am-4:30pm. Lunch will be provided and registration is open to students, faculty and staff, and community members. Register today to join us
