“Having made enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and The Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw the megawatts exported reduce by 13% at energy generating sites, compounded by the reduction in tonnage as Wareham Ball Clay quarry heads towards end of life.”
- “Environmental compliance was strong again in 2024, 86.5% of SUEZ sites were rated Band A, the Environment Agency's top compliance rating, and the remainder were rated Band B.”
- “risk profile fell again in 2024 following either the renewal, or extension, of a number of significant long term contracts and award of three new contracts; the target to increase the number of municipal collection contracts by year end by a minimum of two was met.”
- “The Company was awarded with Gold Medal rating following an in-depth assessment by EcoVadis, for a second year in a row, reflecting its sustainable management approach.”
- “Total GHG emissions decreased from 18,637 tCO2 (2023) to 18,125 tCO2 (2024) driven mainly by lower natural gas and non-transport fuel emissions, partly offset by higher electricity-related emissions.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
