Together, NWWA is a leader in sustainable development, providing environmentally-sound waste and water management solutions, as well as a suite of industrial services.
A values-driven company, we regard social, environmental and economic sustainability as vital to what we do – and how we do it. We also recognise the opportunity we have to positively impact the environment, and provide direct and indirect benefits to our customers and stakeholder groups.
NWWA’s design was developed by Palyku artist, Sally Morgan, and represents the belief that if you look after the country, the country will look after you. This belief forms part of our company’s core values. It means we care for the land, the water and the people in a sustainable way.
NUNTIRRPA
Nuntirrpa, which means strong, is a 100% Pilbara Traditional Owner business, which aims to create a future where Aboriginal people are empowered economically to care for their families and Country.
Nuntirrpa achieves this aim by providing expertise in identifying economic opportunities through Aboriginal local sourcing and supplier development, and also managing any associated commercial risks.
VEOLIA

At the core of Veolia’s business is providing sustainable solutions via continuous improvement through technical innovation.
