The Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) (www.a4ws.org) is a global membership-based network of businesses, civil society organisations and the public sector dedicated to promoting the responsible use of freshwater. AWS Members contribute to the sustainability of shared water resources through the adoption and promotion of a universal framework for the sustainable use of water – the International Water Stewardship Standard or AWS Standard – that drives, recognises and rewards good water stewardship.

The AWS Standard provides a globally applicable framework for major water users to understand their water use and impacts, and to work collaboratively and transparently for sustainable water management within a catchment context. The AWS System includes independent third-party certification.

The AWS System is overseen by a multi-stakeholder governance structure and fuelled by information from members, partners and a growing number of local water stewardship networks. Knowledge and learning are fundamental to both our ambitions for growth and the integrity of the system. By connecting organisations at the forefront of collaboration on water, AWS facilitates the exchange of knowledge to advance the uptake of water stewardship worldwide.
