Water stewardship: Paralyzing complexity or competitive advantage? - Blog
The message from stakeholders and investors is clear: Companies are expected to govern and begin disclosing water-related business risks. Historically, most companies have been able to simply acknowledge water as one of many important business issues.

Managing Risk for Unlikely but Catastrophic Events - Article
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) programs may help businesses prepare for and respond to incidents that might not have a high likelihood of occurring but are capable of yielding catastrophic results. Even so, these low-probability disaster scenarios too often are overlooked by businesses and deserve more attention and planning.
UN Admits Time Has Expired For Post-Kyoto Climate Agreement - Article
The United Nations on Monday admitted what everyone knows: international climate talks will not reach agreement on a binding treaty for cutting carbon emissions before the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. Under the Kyoto Protocol, 40 industrialized nations signed a binding agreement for a preliminary phase of relatively small carbon emissions cuts for the period 2008-2012.
Stanley Cup to Be Water-Neutral - Article
Even though each team will have its turn on ‘home ice’, the series will be water-neutral. The league has pledged to track the total water used at the two host venues, and replenish that amount through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation’s Water Restoration Certificates, restoring at least one million gallons of water to Oregon’s Deschutes River.
