Water utilities companies are increasingly struggling to maintain consumer confidence in the face of extreme weather conditions, such as droughts and flooding, and disruption to day-to-day routines.
February 9, 2007 (Press Release) --
Article 13 is increasingly being asked to provide strategic advice for water utilities on the social, environmental and ethical elements of their businesses. Recent assignments have involved a stakeholder engagement exercise to provide input to a CSR communications strategy and best practice benchmarking research to enable development of a forward looking corporate responsibility programme and reporting cycle. More information on these projects and other work relevant to the utilities sector can be found on the company website at http://www.article13.com/csr/ourwork.asp.
By applying these CSR tools – and others, such as lifecycle assessments, future scenarios scanning and stakeholder feedback research – water utilities will be in a better position to understand and manage the risks posed by climate change as well as identify the gaps and opportunities in their current practices. Moreover, adoption of a comprehensive CSR strategy will better enable these companies to meet standards set by the OFWAT regulatory body.
Article 13 regularly contributes to the wider debate on the role of business in tackling climate change in both the print and broadcast media. Interested individuals can find out more by visiting the press section of the company website at http://www.article13.com/A13_OurPress.asp or by contacting Dr Paul Toyne on 020 8840 4450.
