We are the leader in UK sustainable waste management. Our ability to capture value from the waste we collect and through recycling, energy recovery or safe disposal, is both profitable and environmentally sustainable.
We have consistently grown revenue and underlying profits over the last few years, virtually trebling EBIT since FY14. This positive traction has allowed us to reinvest in our business, people, infrastructure and systems and processes, whilst providing positive returns to our shareholders over the long-term.
Our exciting strategy for growth sets us on a clear path to lead the way in UK sustainable waste management. Our three specific investment areas are: Collections growth, leading in UK plastic recycling and developing Energy from Waste infrastructure.
Our markets are underpinned by long-term growth drivers such as a national move to increase recycling and reduce waste going to landfill. We have a strong track record in delivering organic and inorganic growth, delivering 41 acquisitions since 2014, with £154m invested and £233m in revenue acquired.
We have a deep and unrivalled understanding of the UK waste market, which comes with over a century of experience. Our strong heritage, brand and reputation, along with our scale, route densities and lower operating costs give us a competitive edge and makes it challenging for new and existing players to compete with us.
We have an ambitious approach to sustainability. Our Sustainability Strategy ‘Resourceful, Responsible’ embodies our commitment to solve the UK’s waste challenge and ensure our business is fit for purpose over the critical years ahead. As part of the strategy, we will unlock c.£1.25bn of investment in the green economy, supported by fundable and deliverable investment plans.
