Is sinne Uisce Éireann. Gach lá, bímid freagrach as seirbhísí uisce atá slán, sábháilte agus inbhuanaithe a sholáthar do mhuintir na hÉireann. Mar fhóntas uisce rialáilte náisiúnta na hÉireann, is í ár bhfís go mbeidh Éire inbhuanaithe ann ina bhfuil meas ar uisce agus ina bhfuil sé cosanta, don domhan agus do na saolta uile a gcothaítear leis.

Is é an cuspóir atá ag Uisce Éireann ná a bheith inchurtha leis an dúshlán a bhaineann le seirbhísí bunathraitheacha uisce a sholáthar chun go mbeidh rath ar phobail. Ciallaíonn sé sin go bhfuilimid bródúil as an bhfreagracht a ghlacadh as ár soláthar uisce a chosaint agus córas sábháilte uisce a chur ar aghaidh chuig daonra atá ag fás go tapa agus fás sóisialta agus eacnamaíoch na hÉireann a chumhachtú.

Táimid paiseanta faoi chumhacht a thabhairt dár ndaoine, iad a chumasú tionchar dearfach a bheith acu ar phobail ar fud na hÉireann. Tá comhfhís agus comhchuspóir mar threoir againn, agus cloímid le luachanna a shainíonn cé sinne agus a mhúnlaíonn an chaoi a n-oibrímid, áit a bhfreastalaímid ar chustaiméirí agus ar phobail, a n-oibrímid níos fearr le chéile, a ndéanaimid an rud ceart, a mbíonn uaillmhianta againn, agus a gcoinnímid a chéile slán. Is trínár n-iompar a shainítear an chaoi a ndéanaimid caidreamh agus cumarsáid le chéile, agus a mbíonn rath orainn le chéile. Baineann na luachanna agus an t-iompar seo le gach duine againn, thar gach ról, suíomh, agus leibhéal.

Is é an sprioc atá againn daoine oilte agus cumasacha ó chúlraí éagsúla a mhealladh agus a fhorbairt, agus tabharfaidh na daoine sin raon dinimiciúil saineolais agus léargas chuig ár gcuid oibre. Agus lucht saothair láidir luachbhunaithe ag Uisce Éireann, cinntítear gur féidir linn seirbhísí uisce na hÉireann a chur chun cinn agus freastal ar riachtanais na bpobal a bhfreastalaímid orthu, agus gur féidir linn leanúint ar aghaidh leis an obair sin do na glúnta atá le teacht.
