Who we are
We are building a world where using water sustainably will be the easy choice.
Aside from fundamental human values like honesty and integrity, the six values below allow us to progress together and are at the heart of how we make decisions.
The will to contribute
We work to help others progress by sharing our expertise,
our time, our energy, our creativity and our vision.
Learning like our life depends on it
Our mission can only be accomplished if our knowledge is up to the task, so learning is a non-negotiable requirement in our daily lives.
Emotional intelligence
Learning to know ourselves better and to interact better with others allows us to work sustainably and collaborate productively.
The will to do whatever it takes
Unifying vision, planning, focus and perseverance, we do
all we can to accomplish our objectives and keep our promises.
Resourcefulness
What we do isn’t taught at school. We need to be creative and
find innovative solutions to overcome the challenges we’re presented with. Our joint success depends on it !
Communication
Seek first to understand and then to be understood. Good communication is the only way we can make sure we’re solving
the right problem and considering our clients real priorities.
It also happens to make life more fun.
