Statement to address the inter-linkages between land and sea in Swedish business core operations
Achievement at a glance
In May 2018, the Stockholm International Water Institute, (SIWI, a member of the Swedish Leadership network and founder of the Action Platform for Source-to-Sea Management) held a learning event on Source to Sea for network members. At this learning event, members shared company experiences that are most relevant from a source-to-sea perspective. Based on this, Swedish Leadership co-convened the CEO Panel on Oceans (August 2018) together with the S2S Platform and World Ocean Council. The Panel showcased the links between the work to improve sustainability among businesses in their core operations (both land- and sea-based) and the well-being and productivity of coasts and oceans. Under the theme of Business Leadership for Oceans - Source-to-sea Solutions representatives of companies, including network members H&M and IKEA, presented challenges and solutions from their own operations.Signatories to the voluntary commitment have continued to work on water issues including the inter-linkages between land and sea in their core operations. We do not intend to report on these here but refer instead to the companies respective annual sustainability reports, which go into more detail.
