SGS and the challenge of water stress in Morocco
Invited to speak at a round table held in Marrakech at the end of November, SGS shared its insights on one of the major challenges for the Kingdom’s economic development: the sustainable management of water resources, in a context of increasingly critical water stress.

With water availability per inhabitant estimated at around 600 m³ per year, well below the critical stress threshold, Morocco is facing growing pressure on its water resources, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, declining rainfall and rising industrial and agricultural needs.
In this context, SGS supports public and private players at several levels: quality control of drinking water, industrial water and wastewater, environmental impact studies, ESG audits incorporating the water dimension, and international certifications such as ISO 14046 on water footprint or EDGE Green Building for real estate and industrial projects.
Through these services, SGS helps turn a structural constraint into a lever for performance, by helping companies better measure, control and reduce their water consumption, while strengthening their regulatory compliance and their credibility with stakeholders.
