Partnerships

United Utilities is committed to the communities it serves.

We regularly review our approach to ensure we balance, stakeholder and community needs.

We place emphasis on two particular areas:

• climate change, where the water sector faces tougher challenges than most other industries
• developing and attracting the skills we need to successfully meet the future challenges of running our business

We continue to support our employees' activities by providing volunteering opportunities, match-funding and community grants for those that volunteer in their own time.

We are continuing to work in partnership with Groundwork to re-generate neighbourhoods and our work with the Mersey Basin Campaign on the Water Framework Directive is helping our business shape its next price review submission to our regulator.
