Preserving and enhancing the natural environment for both our customers, future customers and ourselves is extremely important to us.

The Water Industry National Improvement Programme is focused on enhancing the natural environment and for this measure between 2020 and 2025 we must deliver 65 improvement schemes.

This measure tracks the completion of required schemes in each year, as per the latest WINEP programme published by Defra and kept as a live programme by the Environment Agency.

Each year we will record whether we have ‘met’ or ‘not met’ that deadline. This new target is for us to reach all our deadlines.

All WINEP schemes will be included including those reported under other performance targets.

The performance target will measure against the latest WINEP tracker in the year in which performance is being reported. Therefore, performance for 2021/22 is reported based on the latest WINEP programme on 31 March 2022 and the schemes which have been delivered by this date.

How have we performed?

We have met our target for 2022/23 period. To find out more click here.
