WaterOne is committed to being good stewards of the environment. As a part of that commitment, WaterOne's Governing Board has officially adopted a set of Sustainability Goals. The goals are a set of formal directives intended to guide the organization towards sustainable management practices in the coming years. The goals were developed based on a recent Sustainability Assessment, an in-depth research study which identified operational enhancements that balance environmental, economic, and social factors.
The newly adopted plan outlines a clear path toward achieving Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050, aligning WaterOne with the region as well as with leading utilities across the country. This ambitious goal reflects WaterOne’s continued dedication to sustainable practices and responsible resource management.
To ensure that sustainability remains central to future investments and strategies, these key elements will be incorporated into WaterOne's Master Plan and Annual Capital projects. This proactive approach underscores dedication to addressing climate challenges while providing high-quality water services.
Board Chair Whitney Wilson expressed gratitude for the hard work of staff and partners. “Integration of these goals into long-term planning positions WaterOne as a leader in utility sustainability and upholds the commitment to excellence for customers,” said Whitney.
