The Shaping the Future Water Agenda program was initiated in the summer of 2024 to develop insights and guidance that help companies and partners strengthen approaches to corporate water stewardship, advance collective action on shared global and local water challenges and strengthen water-related engagement with stakeholders.

The research incorporated insights from global consultation of over 350 expert stakeholders, a survey of more than 30,000 individuals across 30 countries, and engagement with 20 leading global companies that have supported this initiative.
