Issue to Impact: Water risk management

The Issue:
This client was concerned that its inconsistent water-related risk reporting among its business units globally, as well as a perceived lack of awareness of water-related risks, were leading to inaction in potentially vulnerable areas. The client asked Deloitte to help review, assess, and improve the diverse strategies being employed by the business units to evaluate current and potential future water-related risks and mitigation strategies.

Our Impact:
Deloitte undertook a number of activities to address the key client issue. Our team evaluated the range of models and practices currently being employed across the business units, and conducted interviews of selected business units to understand the processes used for assessing and mitigating short- and long-term water-related risk. We established a structured ability matrix to understand approach similarities, gaps, and effective practices across 10 water risk assessment categories and 35 dimensions, among other key activities. We also recommended a toolkit that could provide a uniform mechanism for operations to assess and mitigate water-related risks.
