Water Risk in the ICT Sector

In collaboration with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and WWF, our first report in the series published on World Water Day 2021, ‘Water Risk in the ICT Sector: The Case for Action’, highlights the risk water poses to business continuity and supply chain resilience in the ICT sector.

Using the RBA’s anonymised data set of over 3,300 supplier locations, the report found that:

• Nearly 40% of locations face high or very high risk due to degraded ecosystem services
• More than 80% of locations face high or very high risk of flooding
• 68% of locations face high or very high risk due to poor water quality
• More than 65% of locations are exposed to reputational risks
