The Unified Water Label Association (UWLA) will be hosting an event at ISH 2025 that brings together a number of key speakers to discuss how the Unified Water Label is supporting the water resilience agenda. Presentations will cover education, product innovation, market transformation and best practice. The event will take place on Tuesday 18th March in room 4/4.2 Brillanz, from 13.00 to 15.00.

Speakers will include:
Carlos Velazquez, President UWLA - Welcome and introduction
Timo Kopka, Technical chair UWLA - new performance bands and criteria for taps
Paul Skinner, Technical consultant UWLA - new sustainability criteria
Fiona Felix, Leader Public Affairs Hansgrohe – update on UWLA Advocacy activities

Henk Gieskens, Director of client success at Lyrical Communications Limited – the role of exhibitions in a sustainable world
Tim Robertson and Jacob Tompkins, Get Water Fit - a global consumer education initiative
Lee Cartwright, incoming MD UWLA

UWLA CEO Yvonne Orgill said: “2025 will be a significant year for water. The need for water efficiency is higher on the agenda than ever before across Europe.  This is evidenced by the appointment of the first EU Commissioner for water resilience Jessika Roswall, and the recent call from The European Commission to seek input from stakeholders in designing the future European Water Resilience Strategy. Industry has demonstrated its commitment by offering innovative products that use less water and associated energy. With support from all parties we can work together to make a self-regulatory label the solution.”

The UWLA presentation is open to all ISH attendees – visit www.uwla.eu for details or email Vikki Hollins at Vikki.hollins@uwla.eu
