tas contest broke a record with a total of
178 girls and boys, aged 5 to 14 and chil-
dren, nieces and nephews, or grandchildren
of Aqualia workers in Spain, Portugal and
Uruguay participating. The growing suc-
cess of this initiative over the past few years
reflects the involvement of the Company’s
employees who educate and encourage
youngsters to consume natural resources
in a responsible and sustainable way. It also
makes them appreciate the work involved
in bringing water to homes and returning it
to the environment after its use in optimal
conditions.
The aim of the contest is to encourage
youngster to learn about the end-to-end
water cycle in a fun way, recreating a great
adventure story in a digital environment.
This initiative has also become an essential
tool, creating a sense of in-house cohesion
and pride in being a member of the Com-
pany among all the workers who form part
of the Aqualia team. Congratulations to all
Aqualia family members!
