Stewardship & Strategy

Responsible for Outcomes, Not Headlines.

We have sponsored the Sustainable Water Investment Summit (SWIS) every year since its inception in 2023 because it reflects how we believe progress in water actually happens: through focused, serious conversation among people who are responsible for outcomes, not headlines.

SWIS is something of a gem in the water sector — small by design, intentional in tone, and unusually effective in practice. It creates space for strategic conversations that are imperative to the future of water in the western United States.

Our support of SWIS is an expression of stewardship. Just as we believe we have a responsibility to be good stewards of water, the land, and a world-changing technology, we also believe we must be good stewards of the innovation and partnership ecosystem that makes progress possible.
