In the first of a series of topic-based discussions, we have added a series of debates about how the construction industry uses water to our Collective Responsibility website, as well as showing how water management works in practice in Dubai.

About the discussions

There are five discussions threads and three polls that we invite you to share your views on.  Click on the links below to join the debate, where you’ll also find the polls:

- What more can the construction sector be doing to use water wisely?
- How can we engage customers on water management?
- What does best practice in water management look like for the sector?
- What else should we be doing on water management to be a sustainability leader?
- What can we learn from other sectors?

How to join the conversation

To start adding your comments or views, you’ll need to register with or sign into the site.  Please note that discussions are moderated, in line with the guidance provided on the site.  Discussions will run until the end of September 2011, when we will publish a summary of each conversation on the site.

We welcome comments from employees, customers, suppliers and other opinion formers that have experience or opinions on water management, and encourage you to join the debate so that we can continue to improve our practices, in line with the commitment set our in our 2020 Sustainability vision.
