FCC Environment |

FCC Environment – the waste and resource management company that looks at the bigger picture.

We care for both our customers and the environment. We help local authorities and businesses minimise the amount of waste that goes to landfill by transforming it into valuable resources, and we retrieve the full value of the resources we collect and process, so they can be used again and again. Waste that cannot be recycled, we transform into energy.

Why does ESG matter to us?

At FCC, we know that every action we take at work contributes to our mission and values.

ESG isn’t just about big corporate policies: whether it’s recycling correctly at our workstations, being mindful of our energy use, or reporting any safety concerns, we believe these are the right things to do.

And we know that each small action contributes to our bigger ESG goals. 

Together, we’re not just managing waste—we’re creating a cleaner, greener future for generations to come. 

And that’s something we can all be proud of.

Breaking it down:

Environmental

This is all about how we protect and enhance the natural world.

For FCC, that means managing waste in a way that reduces harm to the planet. We’re leaders in reducing, recycling, creating energy from waste that cannot be recycled and moving toward a circular economy where materials are reused rather than thrown away.

From recycling more than 1.5 million tonnes of waste each year to enhancing biodiversity, this is what we do.

Social

This is all about people inside and outside the company.

At FCC, we make sure that our employees are safe and supported. From offering free health check ups for staff to providing open access to our wellbeing programme, we as a company are people focused.

We also contribute to the communities we serve, whether through creating jobs and supporting local projects to volunteering and operating reuse shops to raise vital funds for local charities.

Governance

This is all about how we adhere to regulations and good ethical practices.

We’re committed to making decisions that are not only good for business but also good for the society. From carrying out regular internal and external audits, we not only ensure compliancy but we are also always looking into ways to improve.

This keeps us accountable and trustworthy in the eyes of our clients and communities.

Our People

We know we can achieve our company vision of transforming waste into valuable resources if our people are happy and have what they need to give their best.

We attract committed, creative thinkers and work hard to help them thrive. We challenge our people, encourage them, reward them, and keep them safe.

Together, for a sustainable future

We offer a comprehensive reward package, backed by structured training and development, and designed to give hands-on experience and real responsibility at the earliest opportunity. Our collection crews are award-winners, and our graduates, managers, engineers and leaders value teamwork and partnership at every stage of the process.

Better opportunities

Graduates are a big part of our vision for the development of the business. Our well-established graduate programme has a successful record of recruiting and retaining graduates, helping us to develop the managers of tomorrow. But, just as important to the business, are qualified HGV drivers who support our activities across the UK, including our domestic waste collection crews and household waste recycling centres.

Net Zero

While some of our carbon-reducing activities count towards targets and mandatory reporting, many others do not – we do them simply because they are the right thing to do.

Our environment, Our responsibility

At FCC, we consider it our duty to do the best by our environment across everything we do.

We’re passionate about our work, our environment and the welfare of our communities. That means we always think about what we do, and how we do it, and we make sure we work in the most responsible way possible. We only have one planet, so we use all of our expertise to play our part in taking good care of it.

Social Value

Our approach to Social value means that we measure the impact of what we do on the well-being of the individuals and communities we serve. Encompassing economic, social, and environmental benefits beyond financial profits, this allows us to promote a more holistic approach to our success.

Doing the right thing

We have chosen to focus on 25 key metrics, kept under review, that best match our current activities and requirements.

These fall under four main categories:

• Tackling economic inequality
• Increasing supply chain resilience
• Fighting climate change
• Community wellbeing
