About us

AdRMM is a multifaceted organization, capable of being viewed from many different perspectives. The company organization is divided into:

Business

The starting point for success relies on corporate stability.

Having a business-oriented culture ensures that actions and strategies are guided in the direction of generating value, which will result not only in profit but in brand recognition as well. This vision is based on the organization’s sustainability, which is reflected in its ability to become efficient and long-lasting.

Humanity

The cornerstone of institutional cohesion.

It’s not enough to look like it. You also have to be it.
Therefore, communication, interaction, and human enhancement are key drivers for success, and start from the inside out: from interpersonal relationships in the workplace to contact with external stakeholders, be they suppliers, partners, or customers.

Community

The link that connects an organization to places.

Serving our local communities with dignity is the reason we get out of bed in the morning. That is why this is such a decisive engine to drive change. Only through a community strategy can we consolidate lasting relationships with people and allow our internal culture of social responsibility to have an external impact.

Technology

The essential condition for innovation.

Technology is an inevitable engine for the evolution and perpetuation of a brand. Only through its strategic integration are we able to quickly adapt to changes in the market and seize new opportunities, improving performance in terms of efficiency, costs, and response to customer needs.

Águas da Região Metropolitana de Maputo

Águas da Região Metropolitana de Maputo (AdRMM), established just over two years ago, represents the political, economic, and social effort to respond to the modernization of water management in the metropolitan region, with a decisive role of over more than two decades, to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply of quality water to the cities of Maputo, Matola and Vila de Boane. I have the privilege of witnessing the tireless dedication of our employees daily, who are committed to ensuring that every drop of water reaches all the residents of the region.
It is with an indescribable sense of pride that I preside over a bold administration, truly committed to continuous transformation and improvement. This resilience is expressed daily by a team of dedicated men and women who represent and honor the Mozambican entrepreneurial spirit. It is this extraordinary team whose passion and commitment are second to none, and who are at the forefront of our effort to provide excellent water service to the Mozambican people.
Together, we contribute to the sustainable development of Mozambique, facing challenges with courage and determination. This pride and determination strengthen our will to continue to serve our community with maximum efficiency to make it more resilient and prosperous. At AdRMM, we are more than just a water supply company – we are a reflection of the Mozambican dedication, effort, and spirit, which drives us to design a better future for all of us.
During these years, AdRMM has remained faithful to its obligations and social responsibilities towards the State, Shareholders, Customers, Employees, Suppliers, and Communities. Together, we strive to make water the main driver of development in Mozambique.
Always looking to the future, our vision is to consolidate national leadership in the quality of service provided to citizens, boosting innovation, and sustainability, training a new generation of talent, and building relationships of trust. We reaffirm our commitment to maintaining the quality standards that have been recognized externally, as a result of the rigorous and pragmatic work of the AdRMM team, a team to which I am proud to belong.
Inspired and resilient, we will remain committed to improving our organization for the benefit of our community. 
AdRMM, we are the waters that shape the future of Mozambique.
