Rockwell Automation Inc. reported Apr. 18 that it’s partnering with the non-profit Water Council (TWC) to promote corporate water stewardship worldwide.
“As global organizations with headquarters blocks away from Lake Michigan, the Water Council and Rockwell Automation understand the vital importance of protecting the world’s freshwater resources,” says Dean Amhaus, TWC’s president and CEO. “We’re proud to partner with a fellow Milwaukee organization to help companies improve their water stewardship.”
The two organizations will use each other’s strengths to promote stewardship services and technical solutions to businesses across their networks. This will be accomplished with TWC’s Wave verified, corporate water stewardship program and Rockwell’s water-related sustainability products and services.
“Through our global reach and joint commitment to enabling sustainability, we’re delighted to take our partnership with TWC public,” says Tom O’Reilly, global sustainability VP at Rockwell Automation. “With TWC’s Wave program and Rockwell Automation’s solutions, we are dedicated to driving impact within organizations to improve their water stewardship through consultation, data driven insights, and digital transformation solutions.”
The partnership will include informational webinars on the importance of water use and risk assessment for businesses, incorporation of Rockwell’s sustainability offerings as a solution for TWC water stewardship clients, and identification of Rockwell clients to adopt Wave. Introduced in 2022, Wave is reported to be the first independently verified program that helps companies combine enterprise-wide water stewardship goals and policy with meaningful, site-level action and credible environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting.
“With a rapid and extensive escalation of water challenges across the world that threatens business continuity, companies are rightfully facing increasing expectations from investors and customers to be responsible water stewards,” adds Amhaus. “This partnership between TWC and Rockwell will help them do so.”
