ESRS is Here to Stay: Why Water Positive Companies Are Leading the Way

🎯 Great News for #Water: The Mandatory #ESRS Framework Still Elevates Corporate Water Stewardship; Even After the Omnibus Package

As of January 1, 2024, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are fully in effect. And here’s the point: the Omnibus Package didn’t remove these requirements; it only streamlined procedures.

Companies working to be Water Positive are not only aligned; they’re ahead. From now on, businesses must report on #waterstewardship and use across operations and value chains.

Key water-related disclosures under the 12 ESRS include:

💦 Total water used and its environmental impact
💦 Water recycled and reused
💦 Water-related risks and opportunities (#CSDDD)
💦 Water consumption in high-risk areas
💦 Mitigation strategies and alignment with EU objectives
💦 Changes in water storage
💦 (Optional) Water use relative to revenue

The #WaterPositive model enhances #ESRS compliance by:

💡Turning compliance into leadership, through water regeneration
💡Reducing risks, with sustainable water use
💡Aligning with EU goals, delivering measurable impact
💡Building trust, through transparency and action
💡Driving innovation, cutting costs and creating value

🔁 The rules didn’t disappear; they just got clearer, with reduced administrative burden. Let’s lead with the positive impact. https://lnkd.in/dANf9M6U
