The report includes step-by-step guidance on how to prepare water-related disclosures, such as: how to align disclosure with corporate water management practices; the company water profile; how to define what to report; and detailed water disclosure, including understanding and linking components of the framework, assessing the current state, considering the implications and developing a strategic response.
