Sustainability
Creating a positive legacy for people and the planet by thinking differently about waste.
At Nuclear Waste Services, sustainability guides every decision we make. Our approach to sustainable waste management ensures that today’s actions support people, the environment and the UK’s long-term nuclear infrastructure while strengthening overall nuclear sustainability.
Sustainability and nuclear waste
To support our vision to make nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner, we will optimise waste to support the UK nuclear industry by:
- Shaping a more sustainable future of radioactive waste management in the UK
- Proactively addressing the climate and nature crises
- Empowering and developing our people, partners and communities to thrive now, and for generations to come.
Five sustainability goals
Our sustainability strategy sets out five sustainability goals, aligned to our vision, mission and values, to integrate sustainability into what we do and how we do it. They are:
Closing the loop on waste
We will apply the waste hierarchy to optimise waste, including safe, permanent disposal options.
Responsible stewardship
Our approach to environmental enhancement will protect nature and respond to the climate crisis.
Empowering people
We will empower our people to make an impact as sustainability leaders.
Sustainable supply chains
We will create long-term value through responsible procurement and collaborative supply chain development.
Being a good neighbour
We will be a responsible business, trusted to do more. Our work will create a transformational legacy for communities.
We are making nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner, protecting people and the environment, and enabling a secure, low carbon energy future.
