Anglian Water is celebrating being announced as ‘Responsible Business of the Year’ at the Business in the Community Responsible Business Awards ceremony.
Business in the Community is the Prince of Wales’ Responsible Business Network. Its members work together to tackle a wide range of issues that are essential to building a fairer society and a more sustainable future.
Responsible Business of the Year is one of the UK’s highest accolades for business, and recognises companies that put social and environmental concerns at the heart of their strategy, demonstrating their commitment to sustainability and embedding it in the culture of the entire business and supply chain.
The award for Responsible Business of the Year recognises Anglian Water’s ambitions laid out in its Love Every Drop vision which aims to create a resilient environment that allows sustainable growth and can cope with the pressures of climate change.
Peter Simpson, Anglian Water’s Chief Executive, said:
“We’re extremely honoured to receive such a prestigious endorsement for our business, and for our Love Every Drop strategy.
“This award, which has been won previously by M&S, Fujitsu, Veolia and many other great, forward thinking companies, is a wonderful endorsement of our employees, suppliers, and customers that have been part of our sustainability journey and made Love Every Drop a reality by putting water at the heart of a new way of living.
“Key to this is our approach in looking beyond our business, going much further than is expected of us. Through innovation and collaboration we’ve delivered a total transformation of our business – with leading performance in reducing leakage, reducing our carbon footprint and energy usage, supporting education and careers in science, engineering and technology, and by supporting communities like Wisbech. As a result we're making great strides improving the region around us too.”
