Southern Water is committed to protecting the environment and works to maintain international environmental standards.
We are registered to ISO 14001, the International Standard for Environmental Management, and all of our employees play their part in improving our environmental performance.
To meet the standard, we aim to operate our water supply and wastewater treatment sites as efficiently as possible to keep our impact on the environment to a minimum. We also set high standards in our management of our investment programme, daily operations and handling of waste.
We promote the efficient use of energy, water and fuel and consider environmental issues in all our decisions and business plans. Our supplies are also required to meet these same standards.
Working to the ISO 14001 standard enables Southern Water to focus on environmental issues, identify and reduce risks, collect key information and monitor performance to help plan for the future.
This results in effective environmental management across the whole company and helps us meet the high standards expected by our customers.
