Elevating our
Commitment
SUSTAINABILITY AT ACE25 AND BEYOND
American Water Works Association’ s( AWWA) Annual Conference and Exposition( ACE) has significantly strengthened its focus on sustainability.
Our commitment to improving ACE’ s economic, environmental, and social impacts has never been stronger. We are continuously enhancing program elements, aligning with our Water 2050 goals, and ensuring that our efforts contribute meaningfully to a sustainable future.
In August 2024, AWWA earned the EIC Foundations Level Certification, a key milestone in our sustainability journey. As we prepare for ACE25’ s audit in Denver, we remain committed to leaving a legacy of positive change.
