Our journey to net zero

31 Dec 2021

We are keeping your taps flowing and toilets flushing whilst playing our part to tackle climate change. As part of our route to net zero, we’ve made six carbon pledges including planting one million trees and switching our entire fleet of vehicles to run on electricity or alternative fuels.

Our tree pledge

We’ve made a commitment to plant one million trees and create 550 hectares of woodland.

Our renewables pledge

We’ve made a commitment that delivering all your water and wastewater services will use only green electricity by the end of 2021.

Our green fleet pledge

We’ve made a commitment that all our vehicles will be powered by electricity or alternative fuel by 2028.

Our peat pledge

We’ve made a commitment that we’re going to restore 1,000 hectares of peat - peat’s perfect for capturing carbon.

Our emissions pledge

We’ve made a commitment to meet science-based emissions targets in line with what the latest climate science says is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

Our partnership pledge

We’ve made a commitment to work together with our suppliers and employees to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
