Environmental complaints chart

There were various causes of complaint during the year but the majority related to noise and odours, most of which were site-specific issues and addressed locally. The absolute number of complaints should be considered in the context of a large and growing business. The sites involved very much regret any inconvenience caused to our communities and we are always seeking to eradicate the causes of such events.
