Who are the initial partners with WSI?
The Campbell Foundation, the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network and the Walton Family Foundation have all helped to develop WSI and its conceptual approach. The Campbell Foundation has made a substantial commitment to the program and agreements are being developed with several other funders. All have been extremely supportive of the Water Stewardship initiative. The success of the effort will depend on participation by parties at all levels of the supply chain: corporate manufacturers, food processors, distributors and crop and animal producers. (Early involvement by SYSCO and General Mills has helped formulate Water Stewardship?s vision, and additional corporate partners will be added in the near future.
