Therefore, it is of paramount importance, and a core tenant of Willunga Basin Water’s ethics, that water supplies are increasingly more reliable and sustainable in the face of these challenges.

Willunga Basin Water strives to make every part of its business environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.

We do this by focusing on four key elements: People; Places; Products; and, Processes.

People

The individuals involved with Willunga Basin Water are of the utmost importance, whether they are employees, customers, contractors, or the communities in which they operate. Willunga Basin Water aims to treat all people honestly, with dignity and consideration for their safety.

Places

The importance of location encompasses both the physical environment and the communities that are impacted by our operations. Willunga Basin Water strives to ensure that these places are in a better position than they were before becoming a part of that place, be that economically or by reversing environmental harm.

Products

These are the services and materials we supply to our customers. Willunga Basin Water supplies these products reliably, safely, and with the quality expected by our customers and the community.

Processes

This incorporates the systems, policies, and procedures established across the Willunga Basin Water business, to ensure we exceed the expectations of society of being a good corporate citizen.
