How to build a global water strategy across regions and operations

A multi-region expert discussion

Water is rapidly emerging as a strategic constraint for industrial companies worldwide. From increasing regulatory pressure to climate-driven risks and operational disruptions, organizations must now rethink how water is managed across global operations.

Join us for a global, discussion-led roundtable moderated by Therese Tillander, bringing together AFRY experts from Europe and Latin America. Together, we will explore how companies can move from fragmented local approaches to coherent, global water strategies.

Through real-world perspectives and cross-regional insights, we will discuss:

Why water is becoming a key business risk
How challenges differ across regions and industries
Where leading companies are already creating value through better water management

This interactive session is designed to encourage dialogue — with live questions, polls and participant input throughout.
