WWF Presentation to Name of Company | 16 WWF Water Stewardship Vision All stakeholders in our priority river basins, including an active private sector, are fully engaged in efforts to secure water for people and nature by recognizing and taking responsibility of their role in managing freshwater within the wider water cycle, and integrating the principles of good stewardship into their core (business) activities By reducing the impacts of their own water footprints By taking voluntary action to conserve freshwater ecosystems By participating in constructive public policy and industry standard dialogues to improve water resource management We firmly believe that active cooperation with key private sector companies is crucial to achieve our goals
