different water shared activities and initiatives, this may be
beneficial if minutes of such meeting maintained as evidence for
points discussed
Commentsonpointsofstrengths 1. The company has good compliance with legal requirement.
2. Site has established a competent team of AWS champions with
their roles and responsibilities.
3. The documentation is impressive and also retrieval is excellent
4. The site AWS plan and management is good, such as water usage
and effluent data and information were collected and analyzed,
objective and actions are properly established. 5. The company involved stakeholders to take part in water awareness
education, meeting and seminars. AuditConclusion: The Major NCR is not found but 3 Minor NCRs and 5
No documentary evidence found for communication of site plan to the relevant catchment authority , however evidence was shown only for engagement like plantation of tree. This may be beneficial if minutes of such meeting maintained as evidence for points discussed
The Plan was discussed and shared during different meetings, however formal was not acknowledged. Mail was forwarded to all concerned during audit
The communication thru email is confirmed during audit and closed

No evidence found for the comments on stakeholder on performance of water stewardship.
Commentary of stakeholders in Videos & feedback Forms were available but few questions were not answered in that feedback form that can define performance of water stewardship. Collected stakeholders comments from newspapers. Also modified form as per requirement & shared with stakeholders for feedback to get clear impact of performance on water stewardship.
This may be beneficial if uniform approach may be used for identification of Interests.
