Naturally different
Making a Positive Difference
At Business Stream, we're committed to making a positive difference to our customers, our people, the environment and our local communities – which is why we launched our 'Making a Positive Difference' vision in September 2019.
Going that extra bit further to make a positive difference is what sets us apart from other water retailers and what unites us as a business and as people. It is why we're proud to say we're...
Since we launched our vision to Make a Positive Difference (MAPD) in 2019, we’ve introduced over 35 new initiatives to support our ambitions. In the past year this has included partnering with global climate action specialists, Ecologi, to invest in nature-based and society-based projects; becoming the first water retailer to achieve Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Employee Guarantee Status in recognition of our commitment to providing skills training and employment opportunities to young people; establishing a strategic partnership with the Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) to provide mental health and wellbeing support to colleagues; and expanding our primary school outreach programme to teach the next generation about the importance of saving water.
