As one of the founder signatories, with many large manufacturing facilities collectively consuming around 8,400 cubic metres of water per day, our Group has committed to providing leadership to efforts to secure Sri Lankan corporate sector commitment to make water resources management a priority.
The structure of the CEO Water Mandate covers six key areas-Direct Operations, Supply Chain and Watershed Management, Collective Action, Public Policy, Community Engagement and Transparency. |
