South West Water's Corporate Responsibility Report 2011
Chris Loughlin, Chief Executive of South West Water Limited, writes in the overview to the company’s Corporate Responsibility Report 2011: “In our 25 year Strategic Direction Statement, which sets out our long-term goals and strategies, economic, environmental and social sustainability are integrated into how we conduct our business today.
"This report analyses our corporate responsibility performance and aspirations under the sections of Economic, Environmental and Social Sustainability.
"We and the Pennon Group have developed six key Corporate Responsibility KPIs which we believe to be key to meeting the interest of our customers, stakeholders, investors and the environment and this report sets out our performance against these KPIs:
• capital investment
• greenhouse gas emissions
• renewable energy generation
• recycling volumes
• health & safety (RIDDOR)
• community support & donations.
"In this report we also describe the corporate responsibility targets we have set ourselves for 2011/12 and explain how we have done against the targets we set for 2010/11."
