Case Study: Colgate-Palmolive advances water stewardship and risk management with Waterplan

Colgate-Palmolive harnesses technology to understand water risks and inform its water stewardship initiatives

Colgate-Palmolive, the global consumer goods company, worked with Waterplan to improve how it gathers, centralizes, and analyzes water data across its operations. The company needed a better way to understand local water risks, move beyond reactive reporting, and support its Water Stewardship Strategy with more consistent, actionable insights.

Waterplan provided a platform to bring multiple water risk dimensions into one place, assess site-level risks in depth, and help Colgate-Palmolive quantify the potential financial impact of water issues. As a result, Colgate-Palmolive was able to complete water risk assessments in less time, consolidate results, standardize reporting, and align internal teams around decision-making and action on water stewardship.
