Industrial Corporate Water StrategyDefining Water Positive The concept of being “water-positive” has been gaining currency but what does it really mean? The narrow definition of returning more water to nature than is withdrawn is limited in its usefulness. A broader focus on commitments to enhancing the water resources that industrial end-users rely on may prove more beneficial. A group of leading industrial end-users share their approaches to going beyond just returning water to nature and how the supply chain can be part of the story. Moderator:

DigitalThe Smart Way to Zero It is impossible to make sense of zero carbon strategy in the water sector without making it part of a broader digital performance strategy. The synergies between the two are too big to miss. How are the most forward-thinking utilities marking the most of this opportunity? What can the leading technology companies in the sector contribute? Here we map out how the smart technologies are defining the race to zero and vice versa. Moderator:
