United Nations Global Compact Principles

• CEO Water Mandate

CEO Water Mandate

Nalco endorses the United Nations Global Compact CEO Water Mandate. The CEO Water Mandate is a unique public-private initiative designed to assist companies in the development, implementation and disclosure of water sustainability policies and practices. 

The World Health Organization states that one fifth of the world’s population (more than 1.1 billion people) live in areas where water is physically scarce. By 2025 the UN estimates 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions suffering from absolute water scarcity – meaning water demand by all users cannot be fully met by available supplies.

Nalco has committed to support and advance water sustainability solutions within the company’s sphere of influence in the six areas covered by the CEO Water Mandate: Direct Operations; Supply Chain and Watershed Management; Collective Action; Public Policy; Community Engagement; and Transparency.

As part of our commitment to the CEO Water Mandate, we issue an annual Communication on Progress: Water as our public disclosure to our stakeholders to describe how we are implementing the six core elements of the Mandate. That COP is included in our 2010 Sustainability Report.
