A more sustainable tomorrow
We believe in doing good. In fact, we promise to.
Our social and sustainability promise
We’re here to make a difference. It’s that simple. And to help us on our journey, we’ve made a social and sustainability promise. We’ve picked four areas that are really important to us, where we know we can help make an impact and we’ll work together with our people, our suppliers our customers and their communities to achieve our goals and fulfil our promises.
The planet
We promise to always act with the environment in mind.
People
We promise to champion wellbeing, self-belief and development.
Company
We promise to act fairly, responsibly and with integrity.
Customers and communities
We promise to inspire and influence sustainable change.
Striving for net zero by 2030
We love our planet. It’s our home. It’s our source of food and water. But changes to our climate are impacting our resources. That’s why our promise to our planet is dedicated to making sustainable changes and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, ahead of the UK government’s 2050 goal.
If you’re interested to know what our plans are to achieve the 2030 target, we’ve outlined a road map across scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in our Carbon Reduction Plan.
A more sustainable tomorrow
Working in the water industry, we see every day just how important it is for businesses and communities to save water and use what we do have more efficiently. At Wave, we’re committed to a more sustainable tomorrow, so we’ve set ourselves some pretty big goals. We know we can’t do all of them by ourselves but by working together, we’re sure we can take action and make real change.

We’ve been measuring and recording all the good we’ve been doing as a business during our last financial year.
