Introducing the South African Water Stewardship Council Trust

Stephen Duffett,

Trustees

Why a Trust?

Highest level of protection for donors and sponsors.

Tax exemption status for donors and sponsors.

Fiduciary responsibility of Trustees.

Capable of managing endowments and thus sustainable over time.

Endures beyond the life of those who created it.

Disadvantage is that it is slow to build up critical mass.

Advantage is that it is very durable once established.

What We Believe In

Vision: To  foster inter-generational equity at corporate and individual level through behavioural change in the custodianship of water.

Mission: Incentivizing behavioural change from  consumption to the custodianship of water through structured stewardship programs that are based on a set of clearly articulated core values.
