On February 28th, 2018, the GIIN hosted an IRIS Standards Series Webinar with the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) and Impax Asset Management. 

During this 1-hour webinar, speakers shared information about the Alliance for Water Stewardship’s Standard and how it links to IRIS. Impax Asset Management added additional color to the conversation, explaining how the organization manages impact within the rapidly growing water value chain.
