Our approach to sustainability

At Aquatrust, sustainability isn't just a nice-to-have – it's part of how we work. From reducing unnecessary travel to saving water and improving efficiency, we're making smart, practical changes that benefit both our clients and the environment.

We know our services play a role in protecting health and safety. But we also believe in protecting the world around us. That's why we're working towards becoming a net-zero business by 2040.

What we’re doing now

We’ve already taken steps to reduce our environmental impact:

  • Remote monitoring: We use sensor technology to monitor water systems 24/7, cutting down the need for routine site visits and reducing travel-related emissions. Learn more.
  • Fleet improvements: We've introduced electric vehicles into our fleet, with plans to expand this further.
  • Water efficiency: Remote monitoring helps us avoid unnecessary flushing, which saves water and energy.
  • ISO 14001 certified: Our Environmental Management System meets this international standard, and we’re committed to continuous improvement.
  • Staff engagement: Sustainability is part of our company vision, and our team are actively involved, from driving innovation to hands-on projects.

We also get involved with local conservation work, like volunteering with Make it Wild in North Yorkshire, helping remove invasive species to support biodiversity.

Why remote monitoring matters

Remote water monitoring is central to our sustainability strategy. It means:

  • Fewer site visits and less travel
  • Reduced water waste from manual flushing
  • Early detection of issues through real-time data
  • Smarter, more efficient compliance

One client saved over 160,000 litres of water a year by switching to remote monitoring. It's better for the environment and better for business.
