AWS is a global membership collaboration comprising businesses, NGOs and the public sector. Our members contribute to the sustainability of local water-resources through their adoption and promotion of a universal framework for the sustainable use of water – the International Water Stewardship Standard, or AWS Standard – that drives, recognises and rewards good water stewardship performance. Our global structure enables us to act with local knowledge and expertise within a system that is guided and supported by our combined international experience. We have regional partners and local coordinators who work with the international secretariat to promote, enable and support water stewardship activity around the world.
