Watergate wins Green Visionary Award for Best ESG Solution

Last night in Dubai, Watergate was recognised with the Green Visionary Award for Best ESG Solution at the Global PropTech Connect Awards.

We’re proud of the win and it validates a belief we’ve held for a long time.

That preventing water waste is one of the simplest and most effective ESG actions a building can take.

Reducing water waste reduces carbon emissions.

Water is still overlooked in many ESG strategies.

Carbon gets the attention. Energy gets the investment. Water is often treated as a utility cost, not a sustainability lever.

That’s a mistake.

Treating, pumping, transporting and heating water takes a huge amount of energy. When water is wasted, energy is wasted with it. And when energy is wasted, carbon follows.

As we’ve explained before, saving water is saving carbon.

This award recognises that connection. And it recognises solutions that deliver environmental impact alongside commercial value.

ESG that works in the real world

At Watergate, we focus on prevention first.

By detecting leaks early, stopping major water losses, and giving buildings clear visibility of how water is actually used, we help organisations:

• Protect assets from damage
• Cut avoidable operating costs
• Reduce water and energy waste
• Strengthen ESG reporting with real, measurable outcomes

No offsets. No vague promises. Just fewer litres wasted and fewer problems caused.

That’s why this matters to insurers, property owners, operators and investors alike. Good ESG should reduce risk, not add complexity.

A growing shift in how buildings think about water

The judges’ decision reflects a broader change we’re seeing across the industry.

More property leaders are recognising that water risk, water cost and environmental impact are tightly linked. And that smart water management is no longer a “nice to have”.

It’s becoming essential infrastructure.

A big thank you to PropTech Connect and the awards panel for the recognition. And to our partners and customers who are proving every day that sustainability and commercial sense can, and should, go hand in hand.
