Water scarcity is an increasingly pressing problem in Colombia, with significant implications for the business sector. Faced with this challenge, companies from various sectors have adopted proactive measures to confront the situation.
According to a recent report published by Vanguardia, several companies have implemented sustainable strategies to ensure the responsible use of water in their operations.

Manufacturing companies have invested in wastewater treatment systems to reduce their environmental impact and ensure more efficient use of the resource.
In addition, water conservation practices have been promoted in the supply chain, encouraging suppliers to adopt policies and technologies that minimize water consumption at all stages of production and distribution.
The report also highlights the importance of raising awareness and education on water sustainability among employees and the community. Some companies have launched awareness programs to promote the responsible use of water both in the workplace and in the personal sphere.
