Value for local communities

Our bond with local areas is part of our cooperative way of doing business. We work with local communities, schools, institutions and third-sector organisations to support projects that generate shared value, promote inclusion, culture, education and solidarity, and contribute to collective wellbeing.

Networks and partnerships for local communities

We work with public bodies, schools, administrations, businesses and third-sector organisations to develop initiatives that meet community needs. Dialogue with stakeholders and the sharing of skills and resources strengthen local relationships and help generate lasting value in the places where we operate.

Inclusion and support for people

We support projects for people and households in vulnerable situations, promoting opportunities for participation, social connection and inclusion. We work alongside associations and non-profit organisations with solidarity initiatives, volunteering and partnerships that offer concrete support.

Culture, education and sustainability

We contribute to cultural, educational, sporting and environmental initiatives that foster collective wellbeing and participation. We also support projects that turn resources, skills and partnerships into opportunities for the community.

The next frontiers

Our goals: Measuring to improve

Today our measurements are based on estimates, because we often operate in facilities we do not own. We cannot make promises we cannot measure. Here are our concrete commitments for the coming years:

  • Map actual consumption: Implement a new data collection system that records water consumption alongside invoices, covering around 300 delivery points

  • Increase certified sites: Move from the current 6 sites with Ecolabel cleaning to 14 certified sites by 2028

  • Raise awareness in the team: Launch annual training for the entire workforce to promote good practices in water use
