The Water Resilience Coalition, a CEO-led initiative focused on corporate action to address water stress, has announced two new members, Grundfos and Haleon.
The coalition made the announcement to coincide with World Water Day, which took place on 22 March.
The expansion takes the coalition’s membership count to 40 companies, which together represent a market capitalisation exceeding $5 trillion.
About the Water Resilience Coalition
The Water Resilience Coalition is an initiative of the CEO Water Mandate, which is a partnership between the Pacific Institute and the United Nations Global Compact.
By 2030, the coalition is aiming to build a ‘critical mass’ of firms that have committed to building water resilience into their operations and supply chains, while also investing in collective action to improve water resilience in the world’s most water-stressed basins.
“The momentum we are seeing—from new members to deepened corporate leadership in priority basins—demonstrates that water stewardship is no longer optional. It’s a business and sustainability imperative,” commented Jason Morrison, head of the CEO Water Mandate.

Elsewhere, the coalition announced that Heineken, working alongside a key partner, have heightened their efforts to enhance water resilience in the Rio Bravo river basin, which spans the United States and Mexico.
“Leading companies, including Heineken, are playing a catalytic role in advancing action in water-stressed basins around the globe by supporting collaborative infrastructure and services for scaling and tracking strategic, multi-funder investment opportunities for basin-wide impact,”Morrison added.
More than 60 companies have endorsed the CEO Water Mandate in 2025, bringing the total number of endorsing companies to 478.
‘These companies have committed to continuous progress building water resilience across their direct operations, supply chains, watershed management, and other areas,’ the Water Resilience Coalition said in a statement. Read more here.
