Have you ever thought about the water footprint of semiconductor manufacturing or AI data centre operations? The Kumamoto region of Kyushu, Japan, is a world-famous groundwater city, and is currently attracting rapid investment in semiconductor-related industries. In local communities that have conserved the groundwater resources for many decades, there raises concerns that the balance between water recharge and water extraction will be disrupted. A study group was launched in March 2024 by multi-stakeholders involved in groundwater conservation in the Kumamoto area (including three TNFD early adopters: Suntory Holdings Limited, Kyushu Financial Group Inc & MS&AD Insurance Group). They began discussing and researching measures to overcome this issue with nature-based solutions in a catchment area landscape approach and to realise a nature positive society, and published the initial report summarising the results of their investigations to date.
