Elevate Textiles and A&E’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Jimmy Summers, traveled to London as a guest speaker at this year’s Global Water Summit (GWS). The summit gathered global leaders in water conservation and water stewardship across all business sectors to discuss water security, climate change, and the pivotal role of water investment in global stability. “It was really encouraging to see the passion and focus on water stewardship at the GWS," said Summers. "We focus on water stewardship since it is our key ingredient for dyeing fibers, and we take our responsibility for being good stewards of the water we use very seriously. I'm proud that we are on target to meet our 2025 goal of 25% reduction in absolute water consumption from our 2019 baseline.” Thank you to GWS2024 for inviting us and thank you Jimmy, for representing Elevate, A&E, and all of our textile brands at this year’s conference.

🇬🇧 "What's the biggest challenge facing the #UK water sector: managing overflows or tackling resource scarcity?" At the 'What's next for UK water' workshop at #GWS24, we asked this pivotal question, and the results were intriguing - a near 50/50 split, indicating a nuanced and complex landscape ahead. Mark Tindale, UK & Ireland Water Strategy Director at Stantec, offered his view on the sector, capturing the industry's drive for change: "Water presents a compelling landscape for change." With a formidable ambition to drive environmental benefits and bolster community resilience, Stantec is already leveraging its capabilities to assist clients in navigating this evolving terrain. As the transformation of the UK's #watersector gains momentum, the question arises: What are your predictions?

💧 At #GWS24, José Enrique Bofill, Aqualia's Head of the MENA-Asia Region, highlighted a pressing issue: the stark contrast in how we perceive water compared to other #utilities. Unlike electricity and phone bills, #waterrates often stir controversy. With escalating droughts, José stressed the urgency of integrating water scarcity into public consciousness. This was echoed in the summit's Financing Water Security session, emphasising the importance of aligning finance with #watersecurity strategies. But it's not just about infrastructure. José emphasised the importance of reshaping mindsets and recognising water's vital role in our lives. Bridging the gap between perception and reality is paramount, urging stakeholders to embrace the true value of water. Achieving water security requires a mindset shift. What are you doing to get there? 🤝

💡 Imagine slashing emissions by 30% with just a modest increase in costs! IDE Technologies managed this at its next-gen #desalination plant, Sorek II. At #GWS24, Alon Tavor, CEO of IDE Technologies, challenges us to go beyond rhetoric and take tangible action in #environmental sustainability. By integrating #sustainability metrics into our KPIs, as discussed in Tavor's insightful roundtable on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we can drive real change🌱 IDE Technologies proves that going green doesn't have to break the bank, showing that significant reductions in #carbonemissions can be achieved affordably. Thanks to Antoine Walter for facilitating this conversation. What are your thoughts on integrating sustainability into industry standards? Join the discussion below! 👇

🤔 Why are we cheating ourselves by claiming we want to build a BETTER #Water Infrastructure? Here's a stupid analogy: when asked which TV channel is their favorite, French people answer "Arte" at 16%... but then only 2.9% really watch it! ↪ There's a strong discrepancy between what we SAY and what we DO In the #WaterSector we say we want: 🫰 The lowest lifetime value for our plants and hence ⚡ The best energy performance while also targeting 🌱 An optimized #CarbonImpact Yet, when it comes to walking the talk, we pick... 💰 The lowest CAPEX price! 🙋♂️ Why so? Well, not because we're damn liars, but simply because... that's how we design our tenders. ➡ A (public) tender is a simple game; it sets rules, and if you're the best according to those rules, you win. So if the rules say, "CAPEX counts for 50% of the grade," and you add a typical 20% on references and 20% on structural parameters of the bidder, that leaves you only 10% (in the best scenario) for REAL qualitative figures. So you'll say you want to be green, future-proofed, sustainable, and whatever buzzwords sound good in a PR, but... you'll pick what's the best for this year's budget (and who knows what happens in the future, right?) 🧑⚖️ Bottom line: it's about time we stop borrowing from the future and start putting our act together. ⬇ Alon Tavor said all of that (and more) much better than me at this year's Global Water Summit. ... and IDE Technologies is actually walking the talk in their upcoming Sorek II #desalination plant, by designing a 30% carbon reduction. 🤔 Does it help that the project is executed in a BOT, and hence, the costs are measured over 25 Years, which would be a good proxy of a TOTEX figure?
