Anglian Water has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s highest accolade to celebrate business success – in recognition of the significant contribution the company has made in setting new national standards for sustainability, and for embedding sustainability throughout its operations.
The award for Sustainable Development recognises the company’s achievements in embedding sustainability in every aspect of its operations. It follows the five-year development of its Love Every Drop strategy, which captures the company’s commitment to sustainability and includes the whole business, from the water it supplies to the recycling of used water before it isreturned to the environment.
Commenting on the announcement, 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. Millions of our customers, our 4,000 employees, and all of our partners have contributed to this by supporting our vision for a more sustainable future, and I’m grateful to every single one of them.
“The progress we’ve made since launching Love Every Drop in 2010 means water is now much closer to being at the heart of a whole new way of living. And we’ll do even more as we work through our very ambitious business plan for the next five years, which includes stretching goals on carbon and energy, climate change, the environment and water efficiency.”
“Setting the national standard in sustainable development demonstrates that we are good corporate neighbours for our customers, and that we are supporting the businesses that power our region, future-proofing us all for decades to come.”
Approximately 140 Queen’s Awards have been announced this year - the 50th anniversary of the awards - for outstanding business achievement in the fields of International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development.
