Dear Colleague,

Water is the big sustainability issuetoday. It’s the oil of the 21st century. Andit’s rapidly becoming a valuablecommodity.

Water sustainability is rising ever higheron the sustainable business agenda, thatmuch is clear.

Scarcity is no longer exclusively felt bydeveloping nations but an issue everyone,especially big business, is having to tackleright now.

The amount of water on the planet isfinite. The problem is, it’s in the wrongplace at the wrong time for most peopleand the population is growing at such arate that water supply per capita isdecreasing dramatically.

Population growth is not the only issueeither; more people are plumbing into thewater system. With rapidly developingeconomies, domestic and industrial waterrequirements are soaring quicker than everbefore.

A third of the world’s populationcurrently lives in water-stressed regions, by2025, this is expected to rise to two-thirds.The big problem facing businesses is thatthey will always be last in the peckingorder when it comes to natural resources.

Domestic communities need their share,local business need theirs, and theenvironment will always take a big cut, asboth PepsiCo and Coca Cola found out inIndia. Rio Tinto learned this lesson inAustralia, when they faced a 50 per centcut in their 2002-03 water allocation.

Another factor to consider is investment:The $415bn Norwegian GovernmentPension Fund, which holds around 1% ofEuropean equities, is evaluating water riskat the 1,100 companies in which it invests.Even if you are not operating in a waterstressed region now, it’s obvious yourcompany needs to satisfy investors that youare managing water responsibly to ensureyou can secure funding for growth.

If only water shortage was as easy tosolve as it is to understand, unfortunatelyits not and that is why you need to come toThe Water and Business Conference 2010.

This event, theWater and BusinessConference 2010 on December 8th and 9th

in London, will equip you with the tools to

mitigate your water risks. You will hearfrom the world’s top business experts andgain from their practical experience. Theywill tell you directly how to manage yourwater more sustainably and how you canlearn from their mistakes.

To ensure you get the answers andcontent that you need this conference willbe focused around an interactive platform:you will be able to ask the questions andhave the conversations you want.

This conference will have the bestspeakers and the highest standard ofdelegates; you will hear from sustainabilitywater veterans such as PepsiCo andUnilever together with insightful casestudies from companies such as ReckittBenckiser and Diageo. This event will be afantastic opportunity to network with highlevel CSR and sustainability professionalsfrom a plethora of industries; we willfacilitate introductions and make sure youhave access to the people and informationyou require.

Adding extra value to your experience;you will reap the benefits of NGOs such astheWWF who are attending to stimulatecollaboration and give the broaderperspective of the global water crisis.

If water scarcity hasn’t affected you yet,it’s only a matter of time. You need toattend this conference to find out whatyour risks, and opportunities, really are.

RECKITT BENCKISER CASE STUDY:Measuring to reduceIn this session we’ll look at how one of theworld’s leading FMCG companies has started tomeasure water usage (and discharges) across thelifecycle of its products, including both its ownbusiness operations and the consumer use phaseof its products. The question you’ll have answeredhere is “where and how should I start with waterfootprint / lifecycle measurement?”

Reckitt Benckiser (RB) has been a thought-leaderin its lifecycle approach to carbon measurement andmanagement across its global products / businessoperations and, based on that experience, hasstarted to take a similar approach to waterfootprint measurement and management.

Edward Butt, Vice President of Sustainabilityat Reckitt Benckiser will talk you through, step bystep, how to:

• Take initial steps towards a sustainable watermanagement strategy

Their data suggests that less than 1% of theiroverall water consumption is in production; theconsumer impact is over 99%.

The data has enabled them to focus their effortsin the most effective area to reduce overall impact,reducing water usage by 75% in the past 13 years.This not only benefits the environment and thepeople living in scarce regions; Unilever will tell youhow they increased their sales by 50% by savingIndian consumers two buckets of water per day.
