The Sustainable Water Council is a standards body that issues membership certification to businesses that meet its Standard for Sustainable Water Practice

We have developed a water certification standard that fundamentally changes the way businesses view and respond to water sustainability challenges. Our certification process empowers businesses to be market leaders in water sustainability, drive efficiencies within their business and save water for future generations.

CHOOSE A WATER SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

The Sustainable Water Council (SWC) logo shows that the product or business achieves excellence in sustainable water practice and has implemented measures that reduce water consumption and improve water management.

We encourage consumers to make sustainable choices by highlighting water sustainable brands and products.

BUSINESS DRIVEN SUSTAINABILITY

The SWC incentivises business to drive water sustainability by making a business case for adopting sustainable water practices.

Solutions to long-term water risks are implemented through our certification and knowledge hub processes which enable recognition of members and the sharing of cutting edge water innovations with members and broader stakeholders.

Membership is voluntary and evidences members’ commitment to saving water and advancing sustainable business practices.

A water sustainable future can only be achieved through long-term and committed partnerships with business
