The Importance of Water as a Precious Resource with Advanced Drainage Systems
Water is the world’s most precious resource. As an industry leader, Advanced Drainage Systems is committed to protecting and managing water by providing sustainable water management solutions that safeguard the environment and build resiliency in communities nationwide.
The Growing Threat of Climate-Related Water Events
The last several years have shown a secular trend of large-scale, water-related climate events increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, there were 27 large-scale storm events in 2023, costing an estimated $88 billion. By comparison, if we look back twenty years, there were just six events in 2003. These severe storms, hurricanes, floods, and droughts have devastating consequences for our communities. As storms increase in frequency and intensity, and climate patterns continue to change, ADS’ water management solutions help reduce flooding, recharge aquifers, improve food security, mitigate the risk of water scarcity, and ensure quality of life in communities.
Community Concerns About Stormwater Management
Local stormwater management remains a concern for many Americans. Earlier this fiscal year, we surveyed a representative group of American adults, and found that over half of the respondents are concerned about the stormwater management infrastructure in their communities. One out of five experienced flooding in their homes. The survey also made clear that Americans are not just worried about protecting their homes, but also ensuring stormwater management practices are environmentally sustainable and improving quality of life in their communities.
ADS’ Commitment to Sustainability in Fiscal 2024
In fiscal year 2024, we continued to make progress on ADS’ commitment to sustainability. We became a signatory to the UN Global Compact, joining the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. We implemented a supplier code of conduct, providing a framework for our suppliers to maintain the highest ethical standards in conducting business. Additionally, we implemented a biodiversity policy to serve as a comprehensive outline for implementing the conservation and advancement of biodiversity into ADS’ operations.
Our Promise
To protect and manage water, the world’s most precious resource, safeguarding our environment and communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to advance the quality of life through sustainable solutions to water management challenges.

AT ADS /// OUR REASON IS WATER
To protect and manage water, the world’s most precious resource, we are committed to building solutions that safeguard our environment and build resilient communities.
“As storms increase in frequency and intensity, resulting in more individuals experiencing devastating flooding damage across communities in the U.S., it’s understandable that more Americans are growing concerned about the infrastructure in place to manage stormwater. At ADS we focus on managing the entire lifecycle of a raindrop, from the time it falls from the sky and hits the ground to the time it is filtered, treated, and returned to lakes and streams. This approach delivers the health and safety necessary to keep communities thriving.”
