FRESH from its success in winning The Hunts Post Huntingdonshire Sustainable Development Award 2007, Anglian Water has won a clutch of further accolades, including the top gong in the Green Apple Awards for work on its strategy combating climate change.
As well as achieving National Champion status in the water industry category for the second year running, the company also won the Green Apple Silver Award for its work on raising awareness about the harm to the environment posed by fats, oils and greases in sewers.
The International Green Apple Environment Awards are one of the biggest award schemes of their type in the world. The awards for Best Environmental Practice were presented by top botanist and TV personality Professor David Bellamy in a ceremony at the House of Commons.

The judges for the Green Apple Awards said: "In a changing environment they have taken the lead in reducing their effect and improving their response to those demands."
