These are: (i) Building a Circular Economy, (ii) Tackling Climate Change, and (iii) Caring for Our People, Supporting Our Communities.

The Reality Check 2022
Tackling climate change is the biggest challenge facing our society and economy today. As the UK’s leader in sustainable waste management, we have published a report identifying a once in a generation opportunity to shift the dial towards Net Zero.
'Resourceful, Responsible’ fully supports our strategic growth plans and long-term vision, defining the important role Biffa can play in delivering more sustainable solutions to help combat the UK’s waste challenge.
