Environment

We know that our operations can have a significant impact on the environment - and we work hard to minimise this impact while ensuring we abide by all the regulations which govern a business like ours.

We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. To us, responsible environmental stewardship makes good business sense, ultimately delivering value to our stakeholders. Our strategy sets out how we manage the impact we have so the balance is on the positive.

Our plan covers the following areas (aligned with the UK Sustainable Development Strategy):

Sustainable consumption and production
Covering our management of waste and water resource use, our investment programmes and our supply chain

Natural resource protection and enhancement
Covering catchment management, conservation, access and recreation, biodiversity and wastewater treatment and pollution control

Climate change and energy
Covering carbon management and climate change adaptation
