This year Folkestone Dover Water Services teamed up with eight water companies in the South East of England, the Environment Agency, Consumer Council for Water and Waterwise in a unique partnership with Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Animation to encourage children and families to ‘Go Green with Shrek’.

Our sister company Three Valley’s collected the ‘Gold’ Green Apple Award on behalf of the Water in the South East for the Shrek the Third waterwise campaign. The award was announced at the House of Commons on Friday 9 November 2007.

The campaign was designed to encourage our customers to think about the value of water and how they can all do their bit to cut down on waste water and recycle. It also demonstrates how a number of private companies and public organisations can work together for the common good of the environment.”

We were also awarded the National Gold Award for water companies at the 2003 Green Apple Awards. The Green Organisation recognised our efforts to mitigate environmental impacts during the installation of new plant and pipeline at Dungeness. The Green Organisation supported by the Environment Agency, Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and the Chartered Institute of Wastes Management present the Green Apple awards each year. This award joins our previous Green Apple award presented in 2001 in recognition of our work in the community. The previous year saw us win the Working with the Community category at the Environment Awards for Kent Business.
