Brightstorm guides corporations and large landowners in developing and investing in innovative, technology-driven water stewardship plans and projects for extensive national and/or international real estate portfolios. We provide expertise in program design, feasibility and efficacy—along with planning and implementation—that results in measurable and replicable improvements for water quality, flows and flood-related climate resiliency, particularly in vulnerable and underserved communities.

We enhance, amplify and accelerate the impact of Corporate Water Stewardship Commitments and Programs by aiding companies with strategic plans that go beyond industry standards focused primarily on water use—namely strategies that improve water quality and reduce flood risk.

Brightstorm can:

  • Help large landowners understand and mitigate the environmental and societal impacts of the precipitation that runs off their properties.
  • Help companies update or establish Water Stewardship programs, targets and metrics that better align with the goals and needs of public infrastructure programs and funding.
  • Help companies identify and develop suites of projects across entire real estate portfolios that collectively achieve much greater impact than “one-off” projects.
Our approach can help secure public funding for infrastructure investments aligned with environmental and societal goals.
