Water Risk Filter tool helps companies and investors ask the right questions about water. It allows you to assess risks and offers guidance on what to do in response. Water Risk Filter can be used to assess water related risks for your own operations, suppliers or growth plans. Regular re-assessments (annually) can show positive or negative trends. Also, it can be used to make strategic (long term) choices on your supply chain. The results of the risk assessment and the provided possible mitigation responses will provide you with guidance on where to focus on, including actions and programmes that can be initiated with suppliers, or other companies. For an investor or creditor, a risk assessment can help identify potentially significant risks for your client and therefore your return on investment.
