In 2005 Loic Fauchon assumed the presidency of the World Water Council (WWC) – an international policy think tank with ties to big business, global governing and financial institutions. The WWC is one of the world’s preeminent water think tanks advocating for the privatisation of fresh water goods and services. Barlow suggests that the WWC is one of the “vehicles of the corporate takeover of the world’s water” [1].
Fauchon has held several prominent positions within the WWC including Governor, special-adviser to the president, vice president (2004) and now president (March 18, 2005) [2]. Fauchon has much private sector experience in the water industry having held the position of Director General from 1991-1997 for Groupe des Eaux de Marseille – a subsidiary of Suez and Veolia. He assumed the presidency of Groupe des Eaux de Marseille in 1997 [3].
