Comprehensive Analysis of Water Risks Beyond Aqueduct for TNFD Disclosure

Understanding Water Risks in Depth

Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd., located in Taito City, Tokyo, is set to host an insightful online seminar entitled "Comprehensive Analysis of Water Risks Beyond Aqueduct for TNFD Disclosure" on July 28, 2026. The seminar aims to address critical concerns faced by companies engaged in TNFD disclosure, especially those who rely heavily on global tools like Aqueduct and Water Risk Filter.

Despite the effectiveness of these tools in evaluating water stress and groundwater depletion, they fall short in identifying region-specific risks associated with excessive water resource usage. As many companies delve into TNFD disclosure, many have expressed difficulty in transitioning from preliminary assessments to in-depth analyses of their water risks. This seminar intends to bridge that gap.

Key Focus Areas of the Seminar

The seminar will specifically explore:
1. Fundamental Characteristics of Water Sources: It will cover major water sources in Japan, including river water and groundwater, delineating their unique properties and historical usage.
2. Identification of Water Risks: By examining case studies, attendees will learn to identify specific water risks tied to their sourcing locations. This is vital for companies looking to align their water resource management strategies with the realities of their operations.
3. Deepening TNFD Disclosure: Many participants feel that TNFD disclosures often veer towards becoming routine and superficial. This seminar will provide practical insights on how to enhance disclosure efforts in ways that are reflective of actual company sustainability efforts.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is tailored for:

- Professionals who have evaluated water risks using tools like Aqueduct but have struggled to dive deeper into specific analyses.
- Those looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of region-specific risks associated with the river and groundwater sources they exploit.
- Individuals tasked with making TNFD disclosures more meaningful and representative of their organization's activities.
- Practitioners eager to connect water resource management with the unique characteristics of their water sources.
