In partnership with Frost & Sullivan, we’re pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the sixth annual Excellence in Resourcefulness Awards. The awards recognize utilities and municipalities using innovative products and services to minimize electric, gas and water waste. The Excellence in Resourcefulness Award categories include:

• Excellence in Resourcefulness – Energy: This Excellence in Resourcefulness Award recognizes a utility or city’s ability to successfully implement technology and behavioral change, producing measurable outcomes in reducing waste of electricity and/or natural gas.
• Excellence in Resourcefulness – Water: This Excellence in Resourcefulness Award recognizes a utility or city’s ability to successfully implement technology and behavioral change, producing measurable outcomes in reducing water loss or waste.

Frost & Sullivan’s selection process includes in-depth research and interviews, followed by the evaluation of utilities and cities against industry best practices and the decision criteria, including societal and business impact for each category.

Considerations for societal impact include improving customer awareness and participation, enabling behavioral change to reduce waste through customer engagement and technology-driven programs, and yielding impressive waste-reduction results that benefit the overall served community. Business impact indicators include drafting a clear vision to address excessive waste through technology implementation, achieving operational effectiveness as a result of a successful strategy for sustainability, and strengthening a utility or city’s brand image as a leader for sustainability.
