As water-related risks intensify across ecosystems, supply chains and communities, businesses face growing pressure to act beyond compliance. Quantis will join World Water Week to discuss how companies can contribute to measurable water quality and nature outcomes through safer chemistry and collaborative action.
Under the theme “Water for People and Progress,” World Water Week 2026 will explore how to build a more equitable and water-secure future while responding to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Discussions throughout the week will address resilience, water governance, climate adaptation, financing, equity and the role of business in supporting long-term water security within planetary boundaries.
Quantis will participate in an online session with ZDHC Foundation titled “Safer Chemistry: Driving Measurable Water Quality and Nature Gains,” featuring Sara and Alain Vidal. The session will focus on the connection between chemical management, water quality and nature-related impacts, and how businesses can move toward more measurable, science-based approaches to reducing risk and improving outcomes across value chains and ecosystems.
Our sessions
24 August / Time: 14:30 – 16:00 / Location: Room 26, Level 2

Participants will user test and prioritize improvements to enhance accessibility and impact.
24 August / Time: 14:30 – 16:00 / Location: C3, Level 2
By connecting science, governance, finance & practice, this working session aims to explore the current knowledge base, gaps and needs on green water and the wider hydrological cycle through expert speakers’ contributions and interactive mapping workshops in the run up to the 2026 UN Water Conference’s Green Water Flagship Initiative.
25 August / Time: 11:00 – 12:30 / Location: Room 26, Level 2
This workshop will show how integrating green-water insights, regenerative agriculture and landscape restoration can deliver enhanced rainfed farming system, and elevate it as a standalone business case to explore to make coporate supply chains more resilient.
26 August / Time: 11:00 – 12:00 / Location: Online
Chemical pollution from supply chains threatens water quality worldwide. Quantis and ZDHC present how proactive chemical input management can dramatically reduce freshwater toxicity and nutrient pollution from the textile and leather industries. The session explores scalable solutions to protect ecosystems, strengthen water stewardship, and close critical data gaps.
26 August / Time: 11:00 – 12:30 /Location: Room 24/25, Level 2
At World Water Week, this session reframes water beyond infrastructure, highlighting how restoring degraded landscapes strengthens ecosystem services, enhances water security, and builds climate resilience in drylands. Through science-based, community-driven solutions, it showcases pathways to revive ecosystems, regenerate livelihoods, and rebuild lives sustainably at scale.
