Lines of Action 2015

Aqualia recognises the economic, social
and, above all, environmental value of
water, the element at the core of the
company's activity; this is why one of its
main aims is to ensure this resource is
managed with special care and respect
for the environment in order to achieve
sustainability.

To make sure this aim is met, the company
strategically implements best environmental
practices in its daily work, and develops
actions aimed at adequately protecting the
environment while carrying out its activity,
such as the offsetting of the carbon
footprint, monitoring energy consump-
tion and promoting the importance of
the water footprint, among others.
