For each award category, Frost & Sullivan’s selection process includes in-depth research and interviews followed by evaluating utilities and cities against industry best practices and the decision criteria, including societal and business impact.
Societal impact indicators include improving customer awareness and participation, enabling behavioral change to reduce waste through customer engagement and technology-driven programs, and yielding impressive waste reduction that benefits the overall served community.
Business impact indicators include drafting a clear vision to address excessive waste through technology implementation, achieving operational effectiveness through a successful sustainability strategy, and strengthening a utility’s or city’s brand image as a sustainability leader.
Frost & Sullivan will contact nominees for the interview portion of the selection process. The winners in each category will be announced and recognized in late September at Itron Inspire.
“The future of sustainable and resilient cities is in the hands of public entities that are willing to not only acknowledge the impact of climate change but also embrace digital solutions to optimize and conserve precious water and energy resources. It is essential to share resourcefulness best practices that are easy to replicate and implement,” said Farah Saeed, energy advisory research director at Frost & Sullivan.
