Water. For Good
World Water Day, an initiative designated by the United Nations in 1992, reminds the world that there is still an urgent need to preserve and distribute the most precious resource for life and society.
The theme for World Water Day 2019 is ‘Leaving no one behind’. This is an adaptation of the central promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: as sustainable development progresses, everyone must benefit. Accessing clean and safe water resources should be recognized as a basic human right, regardless of other social, economical, gender, or ethnical reasons.

Looking at the numbers, around 4 billion people - nearly two-thirds of the world’s population - experience severe water scarcity during at least one month of the year; 2.1 billion people live without safe water at home.
Mazars, an active stakeholder in global water sustainable development practices, believes that professional consultancy firms also have an essential role to play. We strive to promote Business. For Good ™. We assist businesses and the society to establish a strong leadership, foster stewardship and share best practices and improve transparency.
Joining this year’s celebration of Global Water Day shows not only does Mazars advocate for important issues, but our global community also walks the walk.
