Stockholm Vatten och Avfall

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall is Sweden’s largest water and waste utility and a part of Stockholm City. It delivers essential public services that keep everyday life running for Stockholmers: producing and supplying clean drinking water, treating wastewater, collecting household and packaging waste, and supporting recycling, reuse, and environmentally sound handling of hazardous waste. The organisation describes its mission as delivering efficient and sustainable water and waste services for today’s and future Stockholmers, with a clear focus on environmental responsibility, long-term resilience, and climate adaptation. It also positions itself as a societal builder that develops infrastructure, plans for stormwater and a growing city, and helps create circular flows where waste, sludge, and food residues are turned into useful resources such as biogas, district heating, soil improvers, and biofertiliser. The company emphasises collaboration, innovation, accessibility, and making it easy for residents to do the right thing. The team is made up of a large operational organisation with leadership and specialist functions, and the website states that the group has six departments directly under the CEO. Stockholm Vatten och Avfall highlights that its work is carried out year-round, around the clock, and that it relies on cooperation with Stockholmers and other stakeholders to meet its goals. Its values are closely tied to stewardship, service quality, sustainability, and future-oriented problem solving, and it stresses that it works for both current residents and coming generations.
