Japan Water Stewardship Leadership Group
About the group
Convened by the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS), the Japan Water Stewardship Leadership Group is made up of AWS Members in Japan and supports the AWS mission: to ignite and nurture leadership in credible water stewardship that recognises and secures the social, cultural, environmental and economic value of freshwater.
The purpose of the group is to help build recognition and demand for credible water stewardship amongst companies operating in and from Japan. In cooperation with the AWS Secretariat, the Japan Water Stewardship Leadership Group will promote responsible catchment-level water resource management amongst companies in Japan. It will create an environment where organisations across sectors can collaborate, thereby spearheading corporate responses to water risks in catchments both in Japan and overseas.
Specifically, the group will provide a Japan programme incorporating training and capacity development, promoting corporate networking and collaborative activities in the basin, and enhancing cooperation with governmental agencies.
