Flevum Sustainability Circle | Online intervisie sessie (voor leden)

During this interactive online session (for members), we will discuss one of the more complex and rapidly evolving topics within corporate sustainability: water and setting water-related targets.

While targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions have become commonplace, water presents a fundamentally different challenge. Frameworks such as the CSRD, sustainability ratings, and investors increasingly expect organizations to understand, manage, and transparently report on water-related impacts. At the same time, defining meaningful water targets is anything but simple.

We are pleased to welcome Steven van Vegten from Albemarle to introduce the topic and share his vision on the practical and strategic considerations surrounding water consumption targets.

During the session, we will discuss questions including the following:

• Should water targets be set globally or aligned with local conditions within river basins?
• When does it make sense to use absolute targets, and when should intensity-based targets be used?
• How can companies balance reporting expectations with operational reality?
• What role do water scarcity and regional conditions play in determining targets?
• How are organizations responding to increasing demands for transparency and reporting, as well as sustainability assessments?
