We see ourselves as guardians of the environment, and we work hard to protect and enhance it for the future.
We own or manage many protected areas, including:
• 33 Sites of Special Scientific Interest
• a National Nature Reserve
• two local nature reserves
• several Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A healthy, vibrant environment is essential for protecting our valuable water resources.
From working with farmers to improve the quality of our water at the source, protecting our rivers and chalk aquifers and our dedicated biodiversity enhancement programmes, to our PROWATER project and being the first water company to write a 25-year plan for the environment, our Environment Team work hard to ensure all our day-to-day operations support the environment's protection and conservation.
