Our culture

Our culture

Where complex water science meets effective corporate strategy backed by expert water consultants.

Our beginning

Bluerisk was founded in 2019 by Paul Reig, after he spent nine years at the World Resources Institute (WRI). While there, Paul led the development of the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas and Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting method, two of the most widely used open-source resources for corporate water management.

During his time at WRI, Paul worked with many other experts around the world. Some of them shared his passion for developing robust, yet practical, solutions to address emerging water challenges, tailored to the unique needs of the private sector. Building on more than a decade of experience, and joined by a common vision, they came together to form what is now Bluerisk.
