Sustainability

At Uisce Éireann, we are deeply committed to integrating sustainability principles throughout our entire supply chain.

Overview of Sustainability

At Uisce Éireann, we are deeply committed to integrating sustainability principles throughout our entire supply chain.

This involves fostering strong, collaborative relationships with both internal teams and external supply partners to co-create and implement innovative, environmentally responsible water service solutions. Our approach ensures that sustainability is not an isolated initiative but a core element embedded in every stage of our procurement, operations, and delivery processes. The supply chain is a critical enabler in achieving the objectives outlined in Uisce Éireann’s overarching Sustainability Framework, supporting our mission to deliver long-term value for communities, the environment, and future generations.

Our Vision

A sustainable Ireland where water is respected and protected, for the planet and all the lives it supports. Because we’re part of the villages, towns and cities we serve, we treat every drop of water like it’s our own. We are proud to take on the responsibility of protecting the water that has nourished generations before arriving at our taps, passing on a safe and secure water system to a rapidly growing population and empowering new.

Safeguarding our water

Water is one of our most valuable resources and essential for sustaining life. It has shaped our landscape, dictated the location of our cities, protected our health and fuelled our economic development in Ireland. For a long time, Ireland’s water network has served us reasonably well, but it now faces serious challenges. By improving water conservation and working together, we can ensure sustainable water services for Ireland into the future.
