About Act4water
Act4water is an initiative born from the collaboration of professionals in the water sector and corporate water footprint management, aiming to drive the preservation of freshwater resources.
To achieve this, we have developed Positive Water Credits and the Act4water Standard, creating a voluntary market that connects projects driving positive change in water with organizations seeking to enhance their water stewardship.
