New Report Highlights Progress Made Over the
Last Year
On the occasion of World Environment Day, United Water—one of
the nation’s leading water and environmental services
companies—released its annual Sustainable Development Report to
share progress toward social, environmental and other non-financial
goals.
“As a major actor of sustainable development in local economies,
we make a positive impact in our own operations. By partnering with
municipalities across the country, we encourage them to do the
same,” said Bertrand Camus, chief executive officer.
Since 2009, notable progress was made towards goals in improving
energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, workplace
safety and preserving water within our distribution system.
- The company has continually improved
upon energy goals, including a 16.5% reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions and a 28.5% improvement in energy efficiency
- A 12.4% decline in non-revenue water,
or water lost within the distribution system, has been
achieved
- In 2013 alone, workplace accidents that
resulted in time out of work showed a 40% decline
United Water uses non-financial measures to monitor increases in
efficiency and profitability while reducing environmental impact,
engaging its employees and communicating with stakeholders. Each
priority area looks at specific challenges that the nation is
facing, including aging infrastructure and water loss, energy
efficiency, climate change, water-resource protection and corporate
responsibility.
The report pairs each commitment with an example of United
Water’s most significant accomplishments toward attaining it. For
example, a wetland mitigation initiative at United Water’s Haworth,
NJ facility will now serve as a model for preserving biodiversity
at sites throughout the country.
“We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far,” Camus said.
“Moving forward, we believe that these initiatives will help us to
better serve our clients and customers, many of whom are seeking to
optimize increasingly scarce water and resources.”
