Water Stewardship Communities of Practice
(formerly AWS Working Groups)
Water Stewardship Communities of Practice (CoP), facilitated by AWS, allow organisations to collaborate with other business leaders, NGOs and regional experts to get a deeper understanding of the water challenges faced by their sector and beyond, and to set the agenda for water stewardship.
These Communities of Practice are valuable spaces for peers to share their experiences, to ask questions and for experts in the field to present their research and findings. CoPs are open to AWS Members, partner organisations, their members, and other relevant stakeholders. Our goal is to foster broad, inclusive dialogue across the diverse landscape of water stewardship.
Communities of Practice topics:
Biodiversity
AWS, in partnership with Biodiversify, facilitates a Community of Practice on Biodiversity. These meetings are a space to develop our collective understanding of the topic, as well as to explore the synergies between biodiversity and water stewardship.
Cross-sector
The Community of Practice: Cross-sector creates a space for all stakeholders to engage on water stewardship, regardless of their sector. These meetings explore water stewardship community topics and initiatives, updates regarding the AWS Standard System, as well as broader issues.
Sector-specific
Sector-specific Communities of Practice provide an opportunity for stakeholders working in these sectors to take a deep-dive into topics related to their industries and address challenges unique to their organisations. AWS facilitates sector-specific CoPs on:
- Agricultural Value Chains
- Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals & Personal Care
- Textiles & Apparel
