Capacitando a eficiência hídrica com o projeto REDUCED

At Isle Utilities, we’re excited to share our role in the REDUCED (Raising Efforts to Drive User Consumption Efficaciously Down) project, an initiative focused on Water Efficiency with the REDUCED Project. Funded through the non-household Market Improvement Fund (MIF) and facilitated by MOSL, this project aims to enhance water efficiency efforts among Retailers and their customers across England.

Introducing the Water Efficiency Technology Portal

Our key contribution to REDUCED is the creation of a unique, free, and easily accessible online water efficiency technology portal. This portal serves as a single-entry point for Retailers in England to discover and leverage both emerging and established water-saving technologies. By providing access to independently vetted solutions, Retailers can confidently present innovative technologies to their business customers.
The portal also offers detailed information on trial opportunities provided by each technology company, facilitating seamless adoption and implementation.

Navigating Challenges and Realizing Benefits

It’s natural that sharing and discussing new technologies can be sensitive to our stakeholders, who may worry about maintaining their competitive edge. Here’s how we address these concerns and build strong, trusting partnerships with out clients.

Personalized Support and Trust-Building

To ensure our stakeholders feel comfortable and confident, we engage in personalized 1-2-1 sessions. During these sessions, we emphasize the significant benefits of our collaborative portal, such as:

• Improved Water Efficiency: Highlighting how shared innovations can lead to greater water savings for customers across the sector.
• Innovation Through Collaboration: Demonstrating that by sharing diverse ideas, knowledge, and experiences, we can effectively solve complex customer problems together.

Ensuring Neutrality and Confidence

We assure our stakeholders that the portal remains neutral and is not owned by any competitors, thus safeguarding their interests. This assurance is crucial in fostering an environment of open communication and trust.

Leveraging Global Expertise and Networks

Our extensive expertise in the water sector, coupled with access to a global technology network, positions us uniquely to support our stakeholders. By providing the latest technologies available in the market, we help our clients save valuable time and resources that would otherwise be spent on scouting for innovations.
