Our ESG targets for the 2025–2030 period have been developed following the findings of our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) and focus on the environmental, social and governance issues most material to Pennon and our stakeholders, beyond existing regulatory commitments.
2025/26 represents the first year of delivery against this refreshed set of targets. Overall performance has been positive, with 12 of our 14 targets on track, demonstrating strong early progress in embedding our priorities across the Group.
Where performance is off track, remediation plans are in place. This includes renewable electricity generation, which was impacted by delays in energising our large-scale Solar PV site at Dunfermline. The site is now operational, and performance is expected to return to target from next year. Health and Safety remain a key focus area, with continued emphasis on improving our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) through our Home Safe programme and strengthened operational controls.
During the year, we also revalidated our science-based targets (SBTs) through the Science Based Targets initiative, updating our greenhouse gas baseline to include SES Water and reflect the latest climate science. As part of this, we have reset our interim emissions reduction targets and refined our renewable electricity target to a GWh per year metric, strengthening transparency and performance tracking.
Our ESG targets provide a clear and measurable framework for action, supported by robust governance and regular oversight by the ESG Committee. Progress against each target will continue to inform decision-making as we work towards our 2030 ambitions and beyond.
