Our biodiversity policy

Good environmental management is central to our activities.

We actively seeks to limit their environmental impact to enhance environmental quality in areas where we has influence.

Protection and enhancement of biodiversity, both on our land holdings and where our activities may have an impact across the wider environment, is a responsibility we take seriously.

On privatisation, we formally adopted the Government's Code of Practice on Conservation, Access and Recreation (issued under section 5 of the Water Industry Act 1991).

We are committed to fulfilling our obligations towards the 18 Sites of Special Scientific Interest on our landholdings, two European Special Protection Areas for birds, and other statutory protected sites.
