AfriGIS Launches Resolve Water
“We believe water security is set to become a new competitive edge. Supply chains will be judged not just on emissions but on water resilience. Banks will need to understand water adjusted credit risk, insurers will need to underwrite climate sensitive portfolios with location specific water intelligence, and investors will look for real impact and resilience,” says Helen Hulett, Chief Sustainability Officer at AfriGIS. Resolve Water is the platform that enables all of this by design. It brings transparency and actionable insights to businesses, helping them mitigate risk and invest in sustainable water solutions that have long term, measurable impacts on their bottom line. With more than two decades of experience powering location based solutions across the continent, AfriGIS brings the deep technical and contextual expertise needed to launch a solution of this scale and ambition. “This solution builds on the AfriGIS legacy of scaling solutions with trusted insights,” says Rochelle Mountany, Chief Executive Officer at AfriGIS. “With Resolve Water, we’re providing a platform that will not only help businesses understand their water exposure but also allow them to take action that drives resilience, compliance, and long term sustainability.”
