It goes without saying that water is the most precious natural resource; vital to life, key to a sustainable and vibrant economy, and essential for a flourishing environment.
The UK water sector faces an ever-increasing number of challenges; climate change is driving more extreme and unpredictable weather; population growth is changing the landscape around us and placing increased demands on water resources.
Demonstrating and encouraging the innovation and collaboration that will help transform our world. The challenges of drought, flooding, resource efficiency, environmental protection and encouraging behavioural change are not faced by us alone. That is why Anglian Water want to work more closely with other sectors who share these challenges and help employees, partners and suppliers embrace innovation for a more sustainable world.
"Innovation and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do at Anglian Water. These principles form the core pillars of our business culture. And when we talk about innovation, this is much more than just applied innovation; we also mean innovation through thought leadership and behaviour change, shaping the world around us to meet the challenges of tomorrow."- Chris Newsome- Direct of Asset Management, Anglian Water.
For the first time, Anglian Water are applying new solutions to assets throughout the entire water cycle, as well as working with communities and local businesses to drive behaviour change and increase engagement. This union of hard and soft infrastructure is being aligned in a way never seen in the water industry.
"Nothing like this has ever been tried before in our industry and we are so very excited to be leading on this work. We believe the outputs will fundamentally change the way our company, and the wider sector, approaches holistic water management; improving resilience to flooding and drought, reducing the risk of pollution, cutting leaks, further reducing our carbon footprint; and increasing customer service and local engagement." - Chris Newsome- Direct of Asset Management, Anglian Water.
