Water in the supply chain
Many risks facing businesses on water stewardship from their own
operations.
Even more are presented with risks in their supply chain – especially
where failure to deliver impacts day to day working.
However companies taking action on engaging suppliers on the topic
of water are increasingly highlighting the opportunities to gain a
competitive edge coming from this work.

Using Water Data: Integration into purchasing processes
Dell’s guidelines for suppliers:
Report GHG emissions via CDP (minimum
scope 1 and 2, scope 3 encouraged)
Set public goals to reduce operational GHG
impacts
Tier 1 suppliers to establish GHG
management and reporting requirements for
their suppliers
Report on water via CDP Water
Publish a GRI-based sustainability report
Dell publicly states:
Failure to meet these requirements
can impact your supplier ranking and
potentially diminish your ability to
compete for Dell's business.

Our key suppliers make up a very significant

5 Automotive industry leaders asking suppliers for
their water information – BMW, GM, Ford, Nissan and
Toyota
CDP has a standardized disclosure platform so
suppliers only have to disclose once
The CDP water questionnaire is structured to support
corporate water stewardship strategy development.
Participants get free feedback and access to best
practice / shared learning.
Data is used to track progress and generate
opportunities for collaboration.
Forward-looking companies – such as
the members of CDP’s supply chain
program – also appreciate that
successful, resilient suppliers are good
for business. Suppliers that are better
able to tackle sustainability challenges,
such as climate change and water risk,
are simply better business partners.
