CLOSED EVENT | Members ONLY
Many companies are looking to move beyond compliance, shifting from ESG reporting towards performance-driven transformation and value creation. At the same time, corporate teams continue to face challenges such as internal alignment, data use and monetisation, stakeholder communication, and the integration of social impact — all while responding to expectations from boards, investors, and markets.
To support members in navigating these challenges, CSR Europe is launching a Sustainable Industry Webinars Series in 2026, consisting of eight light-touch, high-value online sessions. The series is designed to be flexible and practical, offering timely insights, peer learning, and real business examples.
About the event:
Sustainable Industry Webinars Series aims to support member companies by providing relevant knowledge, concrete examples, and space for exchange. Each session focuses on a key sustainability topic that cuts across sectors and business functions.
Session #2
Water is becoming a strategic asset for Europe’s competitiveness and industrial resilience. While pressures on availability, quality, and infrastructure are increasing, the water value chain also presents clear opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and growth. Europe already leads globally, accounting for 40% of water-related patents and over EUR 100 billion in sector value.
This session will explore how companies are repositioning water within core business strategy. The focus is on how water is shaping risk management, cost structures, operational performance, and long-term value creation.
Participants will gain practical insights into how companies are:
Integrating water into enterprise risk management and business planning
Advancing water stewardship through efficiency, reuse, and circular approaches
Leveraging partnerships and nature-based solutions to strengthen operations and supply chains
Identifying opportunities across the water value chain, from innovation to infrastructure
