As part of our commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030, we have today joined forces with water companies in England to help plant #11MillionTrees across the country in a bid to tackle climate change. The new initiative, alongside Water UK, National Trust, The Wildlife Trusts, will see trees, hedgerows and grasslands planted on around 6,000 hectares of land across England, which will bring both environmental and wellbeing benefits. “This initiative is a clear signal of the whole industry’s intent to be running carbon neutral businesses by 2030,” our CEO, Peter Simpson, said.

A seaside invasion of blue crabs have appeared in Leigh on Sea. We’ve been out with @envagency to paint these colourful crustaceans near seaside surface drains to raise awareness about pollution. Surface water drains are designed to carry rain water directly to the sea to avoid localised flooding which means any substances wrongly put down these drains could end up polluting our beautiful beaches. We hope the crabs act as a visual reminder that what goes down these drains could end up in the sea the next day. Thanks to the @envagency and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council for working with us on this campaign 🦀👏🏻 #LeighonSea #Essex #EssexCoast #BritishCoast
