Scottish Water

Crofters in North Uist and South Uist have praised our teams for their peatland restoration work, which has opened up new grazing areas while stabilising large areas of degraded peatland. Peatland is a major natural carbon sink. So, as a major land owner, we aim to restore up to 600 hectares across our own assets in Scotland, while also working to support other landowners. Our latest projects in the Outer Hebrides are helping to protect natural carbon stores in the peat, and reduce organic matter from washing into our drinking water supplies on the islands. 🌍💧 Here’s our stunning film - and watch out for some local, Gaelic cows!

Big thanks to Sara and the Prosper team for hosting this evening. CEO Alex did a great job articulating the excellent work that colleagues at Scottish Water do- day in day out - to bring us all the best quality drinking water that we all love as well as deal with the waste water that we all generate…. SW’s Mark Hunter gave a great summary when doing the thanks too! Lots of positive opportunities that Scottish Water is chasing down as well as grappling with the big issues that are challenging us all - climate change now ever present. Key feedback from the evening - how interesting the water sector is and how it can be a key enabler in so many areas - and I can vouch for that!

Last week I was proud to present the Positive Destination Award on behalf of Scottish Water at the SSF Awards. This award is for a young person who has worked to achieve their goal destination. It was a privilege to be in a room with so many young people focused on improving their lives and giving back to the local community, and to the people at SSF who do fantastic work. Sponsoring this award helps Scottish Water demonstrate supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds as part of our Public Sector Equality Duty.
