Availability and Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation

Public health is in the hands of our water and wastewater management processes, people and technology. We take our role very seriously in helping to ensure that water is delivered safely and securely to customers. Our work doesn't stop there; we work with sewerage, wastewater treatment and catchment management stakeholders ensuring that water is returned to the environment without causing harm.

Responsible Consumption and Production

The transition to a circular economy demands improvements in processes, resource efficiency and our ability to recover value from waste resources. Our services help clients across multiple sectors, including the waste services industry, to understand their consumption and optimise the value of their wastes.

   

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Managing wastewater, storm water and security of supply in urban areas comes with a myriad of challenges. Our teams deliver solutions to help with this - from developing solutions for urban drainage and wastewater management through to looking at non-excavation techniques for inspection and repair of buried infrastructure.

   

Climate Action

With a drive to Net Zero across the industries we work with, our teams look at solutions from operational changes to new innovations that offer carbon positive outcomes. We put a focus on carbon alongside financial measures when supporting our clients' decision making activities as well as delivering practical solutions to strengthen resilience to climate impacts.
