We recently made a significant step in our sustainability journey by becoming a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative ♻️ Here's what out CEO Susan Davy had to say about it: “Joining the UN Global Compact is another step in our important sustainability work as we continue to deliver strong performance in our ESG benchmarks which is woven throughout our business. It’s not only what we do, but how we do it, as a purpose and values led business - by embedding these key principles we can build on the progress we have already made and will continue to do so for generations to come.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e6de8Qr9 #UnitedNationalGlobalCompact #UNGC #SustainabilityInitiative

We’re celebrating 178 years of Bristol Water 🎉 On 16 July 1846, Bristol Water Works Company was formed by an Act of Parliament, which allowed for infrastructure such as tunnels and reservoirs to be built in order to supply clean water to the city 💧 Known today as Bristol Water, we still provide an essential public water service to the communities within and surrounding the city, as well as helping to address other social, climate and environmental issues. Bristol Water joined Pennon Group Plc in 2021, since then we have introduced our unique WaterShare+ programme to Bristol customers to give them more of a say in how we run the company and designed to give customers a share in what we do or money off their bill. Susan Davy, Chief Executive Officer said: “We’re very proud of the progress Bristol Water has made as it remains an integral part of Bristol and its surrounding area today, serving 1.2 million customers with around 280 million litres of water per day. Here’s to the next 178 years!” #BristolWater #WaterIndustry #DrinkingWater
