Northumbrian Water Group has achieved a score of 96% in the Business in the Community’s Corporate Responsibility Index (CR Index) and been awarded four out of five stars.
This latest success for Northumbrian Water Group follows its announcement made last month that it has maintained its title as the most ethical water company in the world, awarded by the Ethisphere Institute for the fifth year running.
Louise Hunter, Northumbrian Water Group’s Director of Corporate Affairs, said:
“We consistently deliver excellent environmental performance and have sustained support to our communities over many years.
“We achieved the Queens Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development for the second time last year and I’m personally delighted that our ethical track record was further cemented by recognition as one of the world’s most ethical companies on the global ethisphere list, and then with today’s announcement that we have achieved 4 star rating in CR Index”
Analysis of the 2015 CR Index data suggests that significant progress is being made to shift responsible business up the corporate agenda with an increase in companies taking social and environmental issues into account when developing new products and making investments.
The overall average score of the CR Index has also increased from 85% in 2014, to 91% today, demonstrating the increased relevance of corporate responsibility to business operations.
