Our Net Zero Strategic Focus
Initial Journey to 2030
Our Path to Net Zero
We are conscious of the impact our activities have on our environment, and in particular, we are conscious of our responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and to move towards Net Zero as an organisation. We have been focused on our carbon impact since 2010.
As a diverse organisation, this impact includes our offices, warehouses, workshops, fleet, the construction and operate sites we manage, as well as our people who are mobile providing reactive and planned maintenance for customers across the UK and Ireland.
This report captures our journey to date, detailing our approach and outlining how we report today, whilst also summarising our decarbonisation
toolkit approach to support our journey to Net Zero.

We have moved beyond ambition to delivery in our Net Zero journey. With verified carbon reduction since 2010/2011, our focus is now on accelerating progress, embedding sustainability across every project and leading the transition to a lower carbon, more resilient water sector.
