E.ON cares about the environment and recognises that its activities have an environmental impact.   That’s why we use our expertise and innovation to ensure that we act in a responsible manner and continually work to prevent pollution and lessen our impact on the environment.   We also work to preserve and, wherever possible, improve the character of the surroundings in which we operate.

We recognise the importance of climate change to the wider community and are taking action to reduce our emissions.   For example, we’ve one of the largest investment programmes in renewable energy and energy efficiency in the UK.   We work with our customers and the wider community to promote practical solutions that will encourage consumers to use energy more efficiently and wisely.

We have environmental management systems in place that ensure we meet – and often exceed – legal requirements.   They also help us to manage any environmental risks.   Furthermore, research is undertaken to understand our environmental impact, which allows us to continually improve upon our performance.

In order to improve our understanding of their concerns, we welcome and support communication with all our stakeholders.   Environmental awareness is actively promoted and environmental training is provided for our staff.   We also report yearly on our environmental performance, allowing our stakeholders to monitor our progress.
