WAVE: Action provides a four-step process to guide organizations through setting targets and identifying key stakeholders with whom they can collaborate to address shared challenges and opportunities. As a result, participants set, revise and/or validate enterprise and site-level targets as warranted. They ensure the appropriate data is collected and monitored as well as categorized for external disclosure. Opportunities for collective action is rank ordered by level of site risk and potential for impact. All participants must seek independent verification through SCS Global Services.
SCS Global Services is the exclusive provider of verification services for our WAVE programs. SCS has been providing global leadership in third-party environmental, sustainability, food safety and quality certification, auditing and standards development since 1984.

- Risk assessment and prioritization that generally aligns with WAVE: Assess
- Senior-level commitment statement (or policy) on water
For organizations that did not achieve verification to WAVE: Assess, the risk assessment and commitment statement must be reviewed and approved by TWC prior to implementing WAVE: Action.
