Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do
We are striving to make a valuable contribution to the areas where we operate, alongside our global contribution to supporting the production of low carbon nuclear energy.
We wanted to know how we were doing and asked independent researchers to find out, starting with our UK and US sites.
Urenco Capenhurst, UK
