Sustainable Water

The Sustainable Water Group is a partnership of companies committed to managing water use and wastewater discharge in global textile supply chains.

Using industry-developed Water Quality Guidelines, the group aims to mitigate the potentially harmful impacts and business risks faced by companies operating globally where regulations and enforcement can vary dramatically from country to country.

News and Current Projects

One of this year's key objectives is to increase the focus on effective implementation and integration of the Sustainable Water Group wastewater quality guidelines, and to increase water use efficiency through the creation of impact and performance measures along with capacity building for the group.
