Future Net Zero

West Country Drainage Services are on the journey in becoming greener for our environment. To us, it is fundamentally important we all take action now. Not just for us, but for our children and the next generations.

Being Future Net Zero Standard Benchmark Certified is a meaningful milestone for us as it represents our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices.

This certification demonstrates that we are actively measuring, reducing, and managing our carbon footprint to align with the industry-wide net zero goals. By implementing energy-efficient practices, reducing emissions, and optimising resources, we’re not only enhancing our operational efficiency but also supporting the broader transition toward a low-carbon economy. This certification is a testament to our dedication to future-proofing our services and helping clients enjoy eco-conscious drainage solutions that have a positive, lasting impact on the environment.

"We have reduced emission’s by planning our jobs with care and in turn reducing fuel used. We have also reduced our footprint by recycling as much as possible including refurbishing parts."

The NHS and National Trust use us not only because they trust our workmanship and methods but because we care for the planet and have the certification to prove our efforts are valid.

We also encourage our clients to carry out the same principles and will advise them on the best methods for the job and disposal.

Often we are asked to remove the old septic tank when we are replacing with a new tank or sewage treatment plant and we advise that the tank is better left decommissioned in the ground as it is rather than taking this to landfill.

What Can You Do To Help?

You can help us with our scheduling and appointments.  If we offer you our next available slot because we’ll be in your area that day, we would greatly appreciate any flexibility in accommodating this time. This scheduling not only helps us streamline our work but also contributes significantly to reducing unnecessary travel emissions. By minimising travel distances between appointments, we’re collectively supporting a more eco-friendly approach and lowering our overall carbon footprint. Of course, we understand that flexibility may not always be possible, and we’re happy to work with you to find a suitable alternative when needed. Thank you for considering this shared commitment to sustainability.
