Sustainable Development

VWIO is committed to the values and policies of its parent companies Veolia Environnement and Veolia Water UK PLC. Details of their overarching principles, programmes and performance can be found on the Veolia Water UK PLC website and in the Veolia Environnement 2006 Sustainable Development Report.

While maintaining the welfare and interests of stakeholders, VWIO seeks to achieve economic growth through professional, legal, fair, responsible and sustainable business practices. The health and safety of our employees, clients, suppliers and people living or working in communities close to our operational sites and the protection of the environment, remain our top priorities.

In VWIO we believe that sustainable development is a journey not a destination and it is core to the products and services we provide to our customers. Our relationships with customers are built as partnerships striving to achieve common environmental, economic and social goals. We understand our clients' businesses and customise our offering to help them meet their targets. This allows seamless integration of management systems and people.

VWIO is certified to the internationally recognised environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001 and can work with you to achieve your environmental goals as well as guaranteeing that you remain at the forefront with forthcoming UK legislation and European Directives (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, Landfill and Urban Wastewater Directives, etc.).

ISO 14001 is a standard for environmental management systems issued by the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO), established to distinguish companies that manage their activities to minimise the impact on the environment and promote sustainable development.

VWIO is a member of the Business Council for Sustainable Development - United Kingdom (BCSD-UK).
