Roundtable Discussion | Navigating Water Risk & Opportunity

FAIRR will host an in-person roundtable in Boston, bringing together investors for a knowledge-building and sharing session focused on water-related risks and opportunities, particularly those impacting the U.S. agriculture sector.

Water scarcity, pollution, and water quality are increasingly recognised as material financial risks across the global food system. This session will explore how these issues are manifesting in North American agriculture and why they require greater investor attention. FAIRR’s technical experts will present investment-relevant insights from our latest thematic research, with a particular focus on the financial materiality of water risks. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how FAIRR’s data and tools can help identify risk exposure and vulnerabilities within investment portfolios.

Held under the Chatham House Rule, the roundtable discussion will focus on practical, actionable strategies for mitigating water-related risks. This includes identifying key vulnerabilities, building resilience into portfolios, and engaging effectively with companies to protect and create long-term value. Participants will also have the opportunity to network, exchange views with peers, and ask questions in a collaborative, investor-only setting.
