SDG6 for water and sanitation is emerging as a promising framework for action, and for measuring progress toward addressing the global water challenges that create water-related business risk. The management of water resources, development of water supplies and services, and management of wastewater and pollution are all inherently linked to economic development. This is a rare and critical opportunity to take an integrated approach to corporate water stewardship and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and align businesses' water management practices with SDG6 subsidiary targets, means of implementation, and supporting indicators.This briefing paper provides and overview on how the private sector can, and already is, helping deliver on global goals, particularly the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #6 on ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all (WWF Description and Introduction).
