Corporate water accounting has a fragmentation problem — and Reuters is covering the effort to fix it.
In a story published today, Reuters reporter Simon Jessop examines why the lack of consistent water reporting standards is making it harder for investors, auditors, and communities to assess what companies are actually doing with water. Lauren Enright, SCS Global Services’ program manager of water services, is quoted in the piece.
The story centers on a new initiative backed by the World Resources Institute (WRI), WWF, and the UN-backed CEO Water Mandate — expected to launch formally next week as Corporate Guidance for Assessing Water Scopes 1-3 in Value Chains. Rather than replacing existing reporting regimes, the framework aims to establish a common set of definitions and core concepts that sit beneath them.
SCS Global Services is helping to convene the initiative. As water stress increasingly affects sectors from agriculture to technology, the need for comparable, decision-useful water data has never been more urgent.

The funding round, led by VP Capital and Oost NL, accelerates the rollout of flagship product Repeltec and the company’s patented water-based solubility technology at a time when EU pesticide rules are tightening.
NIJMEGEN, Netherlands, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Affix Labs Group B.V., a Dutch Green Chemtech startup, has closed a €1 million funding round led by VP Capital and Oost NL. The company’s surface insect repellent replaces the neurotoxic active ingredients responsible for growing insect resistance with a water-based, controlled-release alternative. The new capital will fund the European rollout.
The Breakthrough: Patented Solubility and Controlled Release
The core innovation is a formulation method that dissolves oily, water-insoluble active ingredients into water-based systems. A controlled-release layer extends efficacy to 12 weeks. The flagship product, Repeltec, is dermatologically tested and contains no neurotoxic compounds.
A Tightening European Regulatory Environment
EU rules on chemical pesticides are tightening. Germany’s 2025 self-service ban pulled a broad category of neurotoxic insecticides from open retail shelves, and similar measures are now being adopted in other member states. Repeltec already holds active substance authorisations in Germany, France, Austria, and Norway.
Commercial Expansion and B2B Partnerships
With the new capital, Affix Labs is expanding distribution in Germany, Austria, France, and Norway, with the UK and Poland to follow. Alongside its consumer product lines, the company is launching a white-label B2B model under the name “Powered by Affix Labs”. FMCG companies, hospitality operators, and pest control manufacturers can use it to integrate the technology into their own product ranges.
About Affix Labs
Affix Labs is a Dutch Green Chemtech startup working to reduce global pesticide dependency. Its patented solubility technology and controlled-release systems create long-lasting, neurotoxic-free insect barriers.
