Stamp of approval given by our board

Anglian Water supports and promotes the well being of communities by behaving in a socially responsible manner. Our sustainable contribution brings benefits to customers, employees, investors, business partners and the wider community.

Our policy is to support three key areas:

  • Educating young people and the communities in which they live
  • Recognising our responsibility to the communities in which we operate
  • Managing the sustainability of the local environment while ensuring we provide value for money to our customers

We will do this by:

  1. Providing a stimulating and hands-on experience of our industry, linked to the National Curriculum, through our education programme delivered at our dedicated centres.
  2. Raising community awareness of the importance of using waterwise and disposing of wastewater wisely through open days at our local sites and community presentations.
  3. Educating customers on the benefits of water for health and providing advice on keeping water healthy within their own homes. 
  4. Supporting local communities through our Give Me Five employee volunteering scheme.
  5. Involvement in charitable giving through the company’s Give As You Earn scheme and support of the Flag Fen Archaeological Trust.
  6. Recognising vulnerable customers needs from assistance with paying bills through our social tariffs to raising awareness of personal security with our Bogus Caller programme.
  7. Ensuring where possible, our operations are undertaken with the minimum of disruption to the communities in which we are working.
  8. Ensuring best practice of our operations through regular participation in external benchmarking activities and stakeholder research.
  9. Working in partnership with regional and national bodies to add to the sustainability of the local environment, for example RiverCare.
  10. Offering local communities access and benefits of our leisure facilities.
  11. Recycling of our equipment and materials to community projects.

Sponsorship and donations

Anglian Water formally recognises Wateraid as our named charity with additional support to RedR and therefore we do not offer charitable donations or sponsorships. However, we can offer community support through our employee volunteering scheme Give Me Five.
