Amazon Web Services (AWS) has expanded its sustainability console, launched in March, to now include water withdrawal data. This addition enables corporate sustainability professionals to track and manage their organization's water usage more effectively.

Water Withdrawal Data: A Key ESG Metric

Water withdrawal is a critical metric in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. It helps organizations understand and manage their water footprint, a key aspect of sustainable business practices. The CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) both recognize water management as a vital issue for businesses to address.

The AWS Sustainability Console provides customers with a centralized hub to track and report their sustainability metrics. The console now offers water withdrawal data, joining other metrics such as carbon emissions, energy usage, and waste output. This comprehensive tool helps organizations meet their ESG reporting obligations and strive for sustainability goals.
