Our Mission

Recognized leaders in sustainability practices with a mandate to invest in businesses with a positive impact on society

Committed to our clients, our communities and our environment

Iv3 Aqua was founded to be a reliable provider of potable water to people and to provide industrial companies with alternative water sources to reduce their reliance on water that can otherwise benefit the population in their communities. Reliable wastewater treatment protects the environment and responsible reuse increases the water supply.

Our mission is to leverage our vast experience, strong reputation and significant capital resources to reliably deliver clean, safe water through sustainable practices and unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship, for a healthier, more resilient future.

Water for life

Water scarcity and inadequate sanitation and wastewater treatment are problems that impact billions of people. According to a 2023 report by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water, and 3.4 billion people lack safe sanitation at home. In these underserved areas, the lack of water and wastewater infrastructure perpetuates poverty. Climate change is making water scarcity worse. Iv3 Aqua was established to bring reliable water and wastewater treatment and purification solutions to regions where these challenges persist. Our solutions bring additional benefits such as providing economic opportunities while protecting environmental resources.

Water for industry

With rising water scarcity, it is increasingly crucial for industry to find sources of water that do not compete for local water supplies needed by the population. Alternative water sources such as seawater treated with reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination can complement a water management strategy, offering a reliable and sustainable solution to augmenting water supplies without intensifying the strain on existing surface or ground water sources. Iv3 Aqua’s unique partnership approach with our clients delivers tailored solutions to complex water supply problems based on an understanding of project specific needs, particular local conditions, and industry best practices honed over decades of experience designing, building, financing and operating thousands of plants globally.

Water treatment and reuse

Wastewater treatment and reuse can be a reliable and cost-effective alternative water source for irrigation, industrial processes, and cooling applications. Direct potable reuse is gaining acceptance. Reuse conserves freshwater inventories by reducing the demand from conventional sources such as rivers, lakes, and aquifers. Incorporating reuse into water management strategies is essential for building resilient and sustainable water supplies, particularly amidst the pressures of climate change and urbanization. With decades of experience helping public utilities and industrial clients meet or exceed their water management goals, Iv3 Aqua is a strong partner for clients seeking to implement reuse practices and technologies to offset their reliance on freshwater sources, safeguarding more water for critical needs such as drinking and sanitation.

Water in the green economy

Water plays a central role in the green economy. Investment in the water sector coupled with prudent water management will enable responsible and sustainable social and economic development, conservation of precious natural resources and protection of valuable ecosystems for the benefit of future generations. Hydrogen produced from ultrapure water using renewable energy sources will facilitate the decarbonization of industries such as energy, transportation, chemical manufacturing, and steelmaking. Iv3 Aqua’s vast experience, significant financial resources and strong industry connections can help clients take advantage of emerging opportunities in the green economy.
