As Chief Executive, Adrian Sym leads the pioneering work of the AWS, a global network of businesses, NGOs and the public sector working together to protect shared water resources. The network is defined and guided by the International Water Stewardship Standard (AWS Standard) – that drives, recognises and rewards companies for good water stewardship performance. A development and sustainability professional, Adrian has extensive international experience ranging from Fairtrade International in Germany to grassroots NGOs in Nepal and Bangladesh. His diverse experience, together with his academic background (Masters in International Policy and Diplomacy), has helped to shape Adrian’s view on sustainable development, believing that this can only be achieved through relationships built on trust and respect amongst and between stakeholder groups.
