Global Rights Compliance (GRC), together with the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), will host the session “A Conflict-Sensitive Approach to Corporate Water Stewardship” on 27 August as part of World Water Week 2026.
From 23 to 27 August, World Water Week will bring together the global water community under this year’s theme, “Water for People and Progress”, focusing on advancing a more just, equitable, and water-secure future for all, particularly the most marginalised, against the backdrop of climate change.
During GRC and SIWI’s session, the discussion will examine the challenges of corporate water stewardship in conflict-affected and high-risk areas and contexts of weak governance, drawing on concrete examples and exploring potential solutions for how corporate actors can continue to engage meaningfully with water users and help ensure continued access to clean water.
