TÜV SÜD DRIVES NET POSITIVE WATER IMPACT

Freshwater is an essential natural resource on our planet. As living standards rise, demand for water increases in tandem. However, water supplies are decreasing due to a reduction in water quality and climate change. The United Nations predicts that 5 billion people may experience water shortage by 2050¹. Insufficient water supply is a global crisis that requires immediate and long-term actions. It is vital to take an integrated, sustainable approach by considering the world's water cycle, managing water efficiently and focusing on achieving net water positivity.  

Water scarcity poses a substantive risk to businesses. Manufacturers and operators are under pressure to cut down water usage, reduce their impact on the environment, upgrade water-intensive equipment, improve the quality, cost efficiency and resource efficiency of their production processes. By deploying innovative methods and technology, implementing best practices, and adhering to national and international quality standards, organisations can increase their water efficiency and resilience while promoting sustainability. 

TÜV SÜD's technical services help to reduce risks and reliance on water resources whilst providing comparability and transparency in sustainability management. For close to 160 years, sustainability has been and remains a core guiding principle of TÜV SÜD. Today, we aim to drive Net Positive Water Impact (NPWI) through integrated water management solutions, building water-resilient value chains, supporting our customers' organisational values and achieving their sustainability goals.
