Nairobi Water

Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), incorporated in 2003 and headquartered in Narobi, Kenya, serves approximately 4.39 million customers annually. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nairobi City County, NCWSC is responsible for providing and managing water and sewerage services in the capital city.

Summary

Nairobi Water performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company aims to provide high-quality water and sewerage services, supported by investments in technologies and increased staffing, demonstrating a proactive approach to improving service efficiency.

However, Nairobi Water’s sustainability reporting and efforts are lacking in several key areas. Notably, the company should publish a comprehensive sustainability strategy, which includes its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities as determined by a materiality assessment. The company should also establish measurable, time-bound targets to reduce its key impacts, such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and water withdrawal, to improve its sustainability performance. Implementing comprehensive disaster risk assessments and preparedness measures would help the company safeguard its water supply and infrastructure, ensuring reliable access to water during critical times. Finally, the company should develop public policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights.
