CDP and Ministry of the Environment Water Project Seminar 2026
CDP Worldwide-Japan will co-host the FY2026 CDP Water Security Seminar with Japan’s Ministry of the Environment on Thursday, November 26, 2026, in a hybrid format, with both in-person and online participation.
The theme of this year’s seminar is “Advancing Water Risk Management and Corporate Value Across the Value Chain.” Water risk is an important business issue that affects the entire value chain, from raw material sourcing and manufacturing to logistics. As a result, there is a growing need for companies to address water-related risks, not only within their own operations, but also in collaboration with suppliers, financial institutions, local communities and other stakeholders.
The seminar will place particular focus on water risk management among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies, which play an important role across value chains. Representatives from government, business, financial institutions, and academia will discuss the challenges and practical approaches involved when companies and financial institutions work with local businesses and SMEs and mid-sized companies, as well as international developments in water- and nature-related disclosure.
