Today, GWC CEO Monica Ellis published a piece on Mother Nature Network about the role of the private sector in addressing global water issues:

It’s a very powerful thing when companies understand their environmental footprints and take positive action for the greater good. Every time a company takes these steps, it stimulates momentum. It is this momentum that continues to fuel new investment in water stewardship – and it may be one of the best antidotes for solving the global water crisis.

The water challenge is too large for any one sector to tackle alone. Public and private groups must continue to work together to find sustainable solutions. During the past decade, combined efforts by governments, organizations and private-sector actors led to increased access to water for roughly 200 million people. These partnerships demonstrate how leading organizations can make a significant impact on water sustainability and improve the quality of life for millions in need around the world. That is a step toward water security and a healthier, sustainable future for all.
