Social Responsibility
Water is life - this is a simple yet powerful statement, yet one that underscores the activities and values of OCWA. Our daily business activities have a direct connection to public health and the environment - areas we play a role in protecting. We greatly respect this relationship and pride ourselves on stepping beyond the basic business practices to embrace our responsibility to the people of Ontario.
In 2011, striving to be more strategic in our approach to social responsibility, OCWA formed a Social Responsibility Team (SRT) with representation from across the Agency. After receiving input from a number of our stakeholders, including other OCWA employees and some of our clients, the SRT identified five key areas of focus for 2012: Community Support, Education and Awareness, Environmental Sustainability, Employee Engagement and Innovation.
One of our goals for 2012 was to align ourselves with a charitable organization that supports our vision to be a world leader in water. We believe we have the ability to play an important role in the global community by supporting innovative and sustainable solutions for water treatment, including access to clean water and sanitation. For these reasons, we have chosen to support the charitable organization GlobalMedic.
GlobalMedic is a Canadian charity that provides emergency relief to those affected by natural disasters and complex emergencies, with the goal of helping those in need around the world by providing disaster relief and clean drinking water solutions.
OCWA's fundraising efforts throughout the year will support GlobalMedic in its mission to empower people in the global communities it serves, by providing innovative solutions for the delivery of clean water in developing countries and communities impacted by natural disasters and other emergencies.
