LUSÁGUA – Serviços Ambientais, S.A

Luságua – Serviços Ambientais, S.A. is a public limited company founded on 9 June 2006. It has been, since 1987, through the then LUSÁGUA – Gestão de Águas, S.A., one of the main players in the market for the provision of services in the Management and Operation of water supply and wastewater sanitation systems, working directly with public and industrial entities.

Our Business Activity

LUSÁGUA, to consolidate its position in the market, specialised beyond its services in the area of Urban Water Cycle Management and extended its scope of activity to Integrated Waste Management and Energy Resource Management, thus enabling it to offer a wide range of environmental solutions to its customers.

Value creation in LUSÁGUA is related to the operations it must carry out to ensure the service which is the purpose of its main activity. Essential in this process are the support and primary activities for carrying out the service. The performance of these activities creates value and, consequently, return on investment.

Value Chain

The value chain represents a model for analysing service differentiation on the supply and demand side, and its redefinition enables another focus to be achieved.

  • Consolidation of the sustainable development position
  • Capacity to provide integrated services
  • Strengthening the R&D&I effort with knowledge sharing
  • Benefit from knowledge, to operate in all water and waste cycles
  • Commercial synergies across the value chain

Commitment

Accordingly, it believes it is fundamental to integrate the aspects of quality, environmental, safety and health management into an umbrella management approach, which makes it easier to pursue the objective of sustainable development in the economic, financial, technical, social and environmental areas.

Similarly, we are committed to comply with the legislation applying to our activities, as well as all other requirements we have taken on, including regulatory and contractual rules.
