Water is not merely a resource—it is fundamental to business continuity. As industries face increasing risks from water scarcity, the need to integrate water stewardship into core business strategy becomes imperative. The concept of water credits provides a structured mechanism to recognize conservation efforts, incentivize efficiency, and align sustainability with operational resilience.

On World Environment Day 2026, under the theme “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future,” we are reminded that nature-based solutions must guide our development pathways. Water stress is one of the clearest signals of climate disruption.
Addressing this challenge requires collaboration—between industry, academia, and media—to drive both awareness and action. This supplement is a step in that direction, bringing together knowledge, innovation, and implementation insights to advance a robust water credit framework for India.
“Water credits are carbon’s local, high-stakes cousins. TERI SAS-Bisleri’s report proves impact-adjusted footprints work. Act now: Build transparent, basin-level markets-or watch stewardship fail”
