You don’t sell water. But your business may depend on it more than you think.

21/08/2026 · 1 min read

A business uses water in far more places than the tap in the office.

Water can sit behind:

  • 🏭 Production processes
  • 🌾 Raw materials
  • ⚡ Energy
  • 🚚 Supply chains
  • 🍱 Food
  • 🧵 Textiles
  • 🏗️ Construction
  • 👥 The communities where the business operates

So the ESG question is not only:

“How much water do we use?”

But also:

“How does our business depend on water ecosystems?”

This is the shift in thinking needed to move from ESG awareness to resource management and organizational transformation.

Within the GLC ecosystem, OED – Organizational Ecological Deficit – looks at an organization’s resource use in relation to the planet’s capacity to regenerate.

🌍 Measure what is visible. But also recognize what is “hidden” behind business activity.

💬 If you had to measure the one resource your business depends on most, which would you choose?
