Our responsibility to the environment is integral to our company purpose, and central to this ambition is improving our pollutions performance. 

 

We acknowledge our recent performance hasn’t been to the standard we or our customers expect, and our Pollution Incident Reduction Plan (PIRP), sets out the actions we are taking between 2023 and 2025 to improve our pollutions performance.  

 

We have already made significant changes to our business and invested in new technologies and ways of working that will lay the foundation to reduce pollutions, but we also know it will take time to reach the results we want to achieve.   

 

While we are moving forward with urgency, we know the time it will take to yield the high level of results we seek is frustrating for our teams and customers, but we are determined to make good on our promises. 

To be transparent on our progress we have published a 2023 update on our pollutions performance. This outlines the actions we have taken since the launch of our 2023-2025 PIRP, along with our plans for 2024, including how we are spending £100m of additional investment from our shareholders to make even faster progress.
