Water Stewardship in Textiles: Trends, Frameworks and Factory-level Insights

By 2030, global freshwater demand is expected to outstrip supply by 40% — and the textile industry sits at the center of some of the most water-stressed regions. For factories and their brand partners, water risk is already shaping sourcing decisions, supplier requirements, and disclosure expectations. Leading brands and factories have responded by making water stewardship a priority, and with new frameworks entering the picture, the expectations are only accelerating.

If your organization is looking to understand how water stewardship connects to your environmental performance, how proven water management approaches can drive measurable results, or how emerging frameworks like the Common Water Framework (CWF) may shape future expectations—this is a session you will not want to miss.

This webinar brings together leading voices from GIZ, WWF, Fakir Knitwears, Global Water Intelligence (GWI), and Bureau Veritas to share insights on integrated water resource management, on-the-ground factory implementation from the Greater Mekong region and Bangladesh, and the newly released Common Water Framework that is already drawing attention from major apparel brands.

You will hear real case studies—including insights from a factory participating in the AWS Bangladesh Accelerator project—and learn how water stewardship translates directly into energy savings, lower GHG emissions, and stronger environmental assessment scores.
