About Us

Leading collaborative research, development and innovation with national and international partners.

Working with members and national stakeholders to drive better water stewardship practices in the UK and help address this critical global challenge, collectively.

Managing water is now recognised as one of the key societal, environmental and economic challenges of the 21st century. In fact, the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Global Risk Report ranked water crises as the top risk to global growth in terms of impact.

Water Stewardship UK is a voluntary, industry-led network of some of the largest production and service facilities across the UK including global leaders, national stakeholders and development agencies, working together to address water related risks to business. 

Management Team

Water Stewardship UK is facilitated by 20FIFTY Partners, a mission-led SME based in Ireland which has been driving awareness and action on the water agenda for the last decade.

The company specialises in developing and implementing integrated water stewardship response programmes for water companies, agencies and corporates across Europe. 20FIFTY Partners also operate a number of national support programmes including Water Stewardship Ireland, the Skillnet Climate Ready Academy and the Sustainable Enterprise Skillnet.
