2. Risk management on global water issues… • Requires an understanding of a company’s water needs in relation to local externalities (e.g. water availability, quality, stress, access to improved water sources and sanitation…) • In your operations, supply chain and ultimately customers To manage your water globally, you need to understand the water situation locally

3. Do you know… • How many of your employees live in countries that lack access to improved water and sanitation? • How many of your sites are in extremely water-scarce areas? Which sites are at greatest risk? How that will change in the future? • How many of your suppliers are in water scarce areas now and will be in 2025?

4. Since launch in 2007, the GWT has… • Provided an automatic link between a company’s global operations and key external water data • Allowed companies to establish relative water risks in their portfolios to prioritize action • Enabled creation of GRI Indicators, inventories, risk and performance metrics and geographic mapping • Ensured a standard approach and common set of data for global assessments

5. Since launch in 2007, the GWT has… • Been downloaded over 10’000 times • Been used by 300+ companies (estimate) • Been increasingly recognized as the best available approach for companies to assess corporate water-related risks, improve decision-making, shape water management plans, and strengthen communications with internal and external stakeholders on water issues. • been endorsed by the GRI • applauded by the Carbon Disclosure Project

6. Many companies have used the tool

8. Data credibility • World Resources Institute (WRI) • Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) AQUASTAT • World Health Organization & UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) • University of New Hampshire (UNH), USA • International Water Management Institute (IWMI) • United Nations Population Division • Dataset owners gave permission to WBCSD for use in tool • Original datasets have not been modified (except for access in some developed countries, with WHO/UNICEF’s approval). • The datasets • Have global coverage • Are available in the public domain • Are considered valid by the global community of water stakeholders • Are recent • Will be updated

9. Step 1: Go to www.wbcsd.org • Download the Excel File onto your computer (your data is kept secure by user – not saved on WBCSD website) and enable macros • Note any news / updates about the tool (e.g. upcoming webinars, changes in tool, etc.) • Use any background material and links to other resources (PPT, flyer, Flash demo, additional datasets and tools of interest)

10. Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the Start page & tool features Water inventory Data form Compares your site locations with COUNTRY water data Generate map Compares your site locations with WATERSHED water data Google Earth More info and help here Definitions Frequently-asked questions Dataset details

11. Step 3: Input your information Water inventory Data form

12. Input inventory sheet (option 1 for entering your info) Add rows if necessary

13. Data Form (option 2 for entering your info) • Chose: • Industrial • Office / Retail • Supplier Automatically finds coordinates through Google Number format for Lat/Long should be in decimals (i.e. no commas) If all you know is location of sites, fill in top half, and get maps and graphs

14. Data Form (option 2 for entering your info) Water withdrawal & from which source Water discharge & to which source If you want full inventory incl. your water withdrawal, discharge… fill in bottom half, and get metrics, water intensity factors and GRI indicators Water recycled & reused Water intensity Worker water usage

15. Step 4: Compare with country water data – click this button Compares your site locations with COUNTRY water data

16. Output: GRI water indicators GRI Indicators on total water withdrawals (EN8), water recycled/reused (EN10), and total water discharge (EN21) are calculated for each site, country, region and total.

17. Output: Graphs (“Combined Metrics Country”) – downloadable • Total renewable water resources per person (FAO) + Projections for 2025 and 2050 • Total water withdrawal per person (FAO) • Dependency ratio (FAO) • Industrial water withdrawal as par of total (FAO) • Population served with improved water (WHO / UNICEF) • Population served with improved sanitation (WHO / UNICEF) • Data by n° of sites, workers or suppliers

18. Complete data in “Output Country Data” • Find out which sites are in red / orange, etc. by going to “Output Country Data” tab

19. More external data in Excel sheet, incl. • FAO AQUASTAT • Total internal renewable per person (IRWR/person) • Total external renewable (actual) • Agricultural, domestic and industrial water withdrawal as part of total • Desalinated water produced • WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme • Population (incl. rural and urban) • Proportion of rural & urban population served with improved water & sanitation • United Nations Population Division • Urban annual growth rate

20. Step 5: Compare with watershed water data – click this button Compares your site locations with WATERSHED water data

21. Output: Graphs (“Combined Metrics Watershed”) – downloadable • Annual renewable water supply per person (1995 and 2025) (WRI) • Mean annual relative water stress index (UNH) • Data by n° of sites, workers or suppliers

22. Step 6: Generate maps – click this button Generate map

23. All sites uploaded onto map

24. View options, incl. different maps Click Box to select map Click on Map title to view legend

25. Country maps (1/2) • Total renewable water per person 2008 (FAO) • Projected total renewable water per person 2025 (FAO) • Projected total renewable water per person 2050 (FAO) • Water withdrawal per person (FAO) • Industrial water withdrawal as par of total (FAO)

26. Country maps (2/2) • Dependency ratio (FAO) • Population served with improved water (WHO / UNICEF) • Population served with improved sanitation (WHO / UNICEF)

27. Watershed maps • Annual renewable water supply per person 1995 (WRI) • Projected annual renewable water supply per person 2025 (WRI) • Environmental water scarcity index (IWMI) • Mean annual relative water stress index (UNH) • Physical and economic water scarcity (IWMI)

28. Step 7: view your sites in Google Earth – click this button Google Earth

29. Google Earth interface – global perspective For non-commercial use, download free version of Google Earth For commercial use, purchase Google Earth Pro or other Some users may face problems due to their own internal IT system If you write a comment in the Inventory Sheet, it will appear in Google Earth

30. Zoom in – real impressions Are you near a river / lake / sea? Are you in a densely-populated area?

34. Definitions • Clarify water terms & calculations for accurate reporting of water-related metrics • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was used as basis for definitions for companies that wish to report in accordance with GRI (GRI has endorsed the tool) • E.g. “Total freshwater consumed by facility” is difference between intake and discharge, and is quantity of freshwater: • Evaporated for cooling purposes • Evaporated from water storage facilities • Lost via transmission • Used directly in the organization’s products • Onsite uses, including irrigation and road maintenance
