t Irish Water, we are passionate about improving the sustainability of water services and playing our part in building a more sustainable future. We are implementing policies and strategies through our strategic business plan to support sustainability aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), taking a proactive approach to sustainability across our water and wastewater assets. The UN SDG’s have
set an ambitious framework, with water having an individual goal within the SDGs. SDG 6 aims to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”. Our mission is to ensure that all our customers receive a safe, reliable and
sustainable supply of drinking water and have their wastewater collected and safely returned to the environment. Our ability to take drinking water from the environment, and return treated wastewater requires a healthy and sustainable functioning ecosystem,
OUR ABILITY TO TAKE DRINKING WATER FROM THE ENVIRONMENT, AND RETURN TREATED WASTEWATER REQUIRES A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE FUNCTIONING ECOSYSTEM, FUNDAMENTALLY SUPPORTED BY A DIVERSITY OF PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE. 53
