Climate change is the biggest issue of our generation, and there has been a huge change in public attitude towards its future impact on the environment. Scottish Water is committed to getting to net zero, and beyond, by eliminating all emissions associated with their activities - whilst continuing to deliver excellent service and great value to their customers.
As an organisation, they have responded to the Scottish Government's target by committing to net zero emissions by 2040, a full five years earlier. They recognise the need to undergo a sweeping transformation over the next 25 years in order to achieve this. They have worked with a panel of experts, and their stakeholders, to develop a trailblazing route map, which sets out how they will lead the industry to net zero emissions by 2040 and beyond, and make a greater contribution to Scotland’s overall emissions ambition.
Scottish Water has committed to constantly reviewing its route map, to adapt, invest, and innovate, in order to support a flourishing Scotland.
