Launched October 11, 2013 by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the Global Water Tool for the Cement Sector offers an easy-to use resource designed to help cement companies manage their water use more efficiently and sustainably. Once a site location is entered, the tool automatically identifies a water stress area and its biodiversity hotspots, and will generate maps and charts of the company’s operations.

The Global Water Tool (GWT) was first launched by the WBCSD in 2007. Since then, more than 300 companies have used the tool to map their water use and assess their water risk. The tool has since been customized for two other business sectors (oil and gas; power utilities) and one global region (India).
