Envision supports A/E/C private-sector organizations and departments, agencies, and utilities at the state, county and municipal level in their pursuit of sustainability on water and wastewater projects.
These organizations have embedded Envision into project planning, design, and delivery by having staff trained on use of the framework. By credentialing Envision Sustainability Professionals (ENV SPs), they help set projects up for success in achieving sustainability goals. Here are some testimonials from around the industry.
“Using the Envision certification process has helped the City of Westminster become a better fiscal, social and environmental steward.”
“We started training our staff on use of Envision and requesting that our contractors and consultants also obtain the credential.”
“Envision goes beyond the basic efforts of project management and development, into areas that benefit the community in a holistic way.”

Advancing the conversation
ISI staff and Envision champions across our community maintain a consistent presence at major water industry knowledge-sharing forums. ISI President & CEO Anthony Kane contributed to the AWWA’s Water 2050 initiative, bringing the Envision perspective to discussions on the future of sustainable and resilient water infrastructure. At AWWA ACE26, Jennifer Ninete, Director of Research and Engagement, presented on building the business case for sustainable infrastructure in the water sector. ISI has also recently collaborated with the Water Collaborative Delivery Association (WCDA) and contributed to educational programming organized by regional organizations such as the New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) and the Illinois Water Environment Association (IWEA).
