Now more than ever, society expects effective, efficient, sustainable, resilient, affordable, and transparent water services. The EBC Foundation supports utilities in achieving these goals through a unique programme that offers:
- A sound and objective performance assessment with comparisons against peer utilities across Europe and beyond. The evaluation covers the water services value chain, evaluating performance in key areas such as access, water quality / wastewater treatment quality, reliability, service quality, sustainability, finance & efficiency, asset management, progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
- Knowledge & experience exchange, allowing participants to learn from leading practices, good experiences and innovative solutions in the sector. During the benchmarking workshops and knowledge picnics, utilities have the opportunity to review and discuss assessment results, exchange best practices, and explore new approaches.
