The Water Delivery Company is committed to minimising its impact on the environment.  We’re committed to reducing CO2 emissions and carefully consider the environmental impact of all our business operations, aiming for continuous improvement in this area.

• 

  Our water is bottled at source in Wiltshire, just outside London.

• All vehicles in the fleet are LPG.

• We continue to reduce the number of routes and number of deliveries by focusing on different areas of London on different days and proactively contacting customers about their requirements. All our routes are developed with optimal fuel efficiency in mind.

• By 2011, the whole fleet will be replaced by the use of ‘Streetvan’ – ‘pay as you go’ hired vans.  Streetvan users need the vehicle in the evenings and weekends – by using the van during the day mid-week we will optimise the efficiency of the van as well as providing an even greener service for our customers.

• Where possible all batteries, toner, cardboard, paper, cans and plastics are kept to a minimum and recycled.

• Our bottles are re-used more than 50 times before being recycled and all our coolers are sanitised regularly, extended their life before recycling.

• All computers are shut down and switched off when not in use.

• Environmental policies are an integral part of job descriptions for all staff and are part of staff induction and staff training programmes at all levels.

• We work closely with suppliers to ensure that all our operations are as efficient as possible and source and promote a product range that is an environmentally-friendly as possible.

• Bottleless water coolers eliminate the environmental impact of water extraction, transportation and packaging. If our customers are using large quantities of bottled water, we will actively promote a switch to mains-fed coolers.
