In our 2008 Environmental Sustainability Report we promised to make our entire UK operation fossil fuel free over the next decade and a half. We promised to unplug our Walkers factories from the water grid, and we promised to send nothing to landfill, up and down our whole supply chain. We are currently exploring the potential to install on-site renewable sources of energy at all our manufacturing and distribution sites and starting to develop technology to capture water embedded in our potatoes, to move towards zero water intake at our Walkers factories. We are also acting as an agent for change with our suppliers and growers to reduce our overall impact supply chain impacts. Finally, we have also redoubled our efforts to bring outside expertise into our business, partnering or taking advice from the Carbon Trust, Carbon Disclosure Project, WWF and a host of others.
In this year's Environmental Sustainability Update, we have sought to report how we are progressing towards our public commitments. PIUK is committed to transparency, bringing outside perspectives into our strategy, and reporting honestly and openly. To read more on our environmental commitments and progress, or give us feedback on how we're doing, please visit our environment homepage or read the full Environmental Sustainability Update 2008/9.
