CEE businesses face significant water-related risks, according to a new WWF report in collaboration with EY denkstatt Austria. Only 23% of surveyed companies have assessed water risks in their supply chains, exposing a lack of preparedness. Half of the companies surveyed experienced significant water-related impacts in the past five years, including operational disruptions and rising costs.
The report highlights drought, flooding, and declining water quality as top anticipated risks. Only 23% of companies have assessed water risks across their supply chains, while 46% have assessed risks within their own operations. The report calls for clear accountability, targets, and engagement with suppliers to build resilience against water-related risks.
