Mission Here at Severn Trent, we don’t do things by half. Here are just some of our key missions for the next few years...
💧 Tackle the underlying causes of poverty across the Midlands in a landmark scheme designed to help up to 100,000 people find employment, while supporting them to reach their potential. 💧 Aiming to deliver net zero emissions by 2030, with 100% of our energy from renewable sources, and a 100% electric fleet by 2030. And we’ve just introduced an all-electric company-car scheme for colleagues, so they can play their part too. 💧 Get River Positive - This is underpinned by five key pledges that pave the way for the restoration and revitalisation of the region’s rivers. 💧 £565m investment into our patch through our ambitious Green Recovery programme, this one is underpinned by seven key projects.
Description Water is wonderful. Without it we’d be lost. With it, everything’s possible. For every toothbrush, for every loo flushed. For the hot showers, the cool drinks, the cups of tea. But it’s not just at the heart of our homes. It’s at the heart of everything — our schools, our businesses, our hospitals. Saving lives, helping communities thrive.
We’re Severn Trent, a diverse and amazing group of people who want to keep it that way. We bring you clean water and we take it away safely too. But it’s not just what we do — it’s how we do it: not just talking, but going over and above. Stepping up and rolling our sleeves up.
It’s because we care. Not only about our water, but about our corner of the country. And we care for the amazing people who make all this possible. Don’t just take our word for it; we’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.
