Our Mission
To treat, recover and recycle more than 80% of the waste that flows through our fleet and facilities using innovative sustainable solutions that satisfy our customers’ needs.
For over 30 years, we’ve taken pride in keeping cities, communities and the environment clean and sanitary. But today we go far beyond just cleaning. We provide a full end-to-end service for our clients across developing and emerging economies who, like us, care about what happens to their waste. Together, we find solutions which recover or unlock the value in materials others call ‘waste’. We use the latest technology and our best creative minds to solve environmental problems and ensure we leave a cleaner and more sustainable world for our children.
Our Values
Deliver. Care. Inspire
Our values remain the same as the day we were founded - deliver, care and inspire. We deliver for our clients. We care for our planet and our people. We inspire others though our actions
Our Vision
Our world without waste.
We share a vision of a world where materials are not merely discarded, but are reused, recycled and recovered. A world without waste.
Our Strategy
Our 3-year strategy, ‘Renew’ places sustainability firmly at the heart of our business. Our goal is to unlock value from the waste we treat; by the end of 2024 our portfolio will be concentrated more on recycling, composting and energy recovery.
We will work with existing clients - and new ones - to find environmentally-friendly solutions to their waste needs, substantially reducing the amount sent to landfill.
We’re committed to building both a profitable, sustainable company and a world without waste where future generations can thrive.
