Northumbrian Water Group has maintained its world title as the most ethical water company in the world for the sixth consecutive year.
The utility, which is headquartered in Durham, is the only company in the Water & Sewerage Utility category to be added to this year’s World’s Most Ethical Company® list.
Northumbrian Water is also just one of four UK-based companies and 130 companies worldwide recognised in the 2016 list by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.
Heidi Mottram, Chief Executive Officer of Northumbrian Water Group, commented:
“We’re delighted to be the only water company in the world to be named as the most ethical for the sixth year running.”
“This global recognition confirms that we are consistently delivering excellent environmental performance and have sustained support to our communities over many years. Since 2002, we have given back more than 100,000 hours to local communities through our employee volunteering scheme.”
“Customers trust us to provide our services that they rely on every day in their homes and businesses. We take the responsibility of building and maintaining that trust very seriously, conducting our business in a way that minimises environmental impact, promotes positive interaction with the community and is conducted with sound ethical standards.”
This year marks the tenth anniversary of Ethisphere and the World’s Most Ethical Companies designation. Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich, said Northumbrian Water Group had set a clear example of ethical and sustainable business practices and staked their reputation on their ability to provide a safe and sustainable water supply.
