In 2021, the RWG (Retailer Wholesaler Group) Water Efficiency sub-group produced a roadmap for the development of water efficiency in the non-household sector. Since then, there have been some key policy and regulatory changes that will help the sector to play a greater role.
The RWG water efficiency sub-group has now updated the roadmap. The focus of the revised Roadmap is at two levels:
(i) Customers: what we need to do to motivate NHH customers to embed water efficiency in their businesses; and
(ii) NHH Market: what does the industry need to do in the meantime to support demand reduction in the NHH sector, and what are the enablers?
The revised roadmap sets out a series of proposals, highlighting where progress is already being made, and where the ‘gaps’ remain.
The RWG WE sub-group is now working on two immediate priorities with a target date of March 2024:
(a) Options and models for wholesaler/retailer collaboration during AMP8; and
(b) A common method for tracking and measuring the impact of water efficiency activities.
The updated roadmap is available here. If you would like to discuss anything in the roadmap, or get involved in the RWG water efficiency Group please contact Chair Oli Shelley (
