Making transport more efficient or safer
Urban transport systems are improved by reducing congestion as
well as transport emissions (which make the local air toxic) as the
mode of transport shifts from self-driven cars to public transport
systems such as trains, tubes and buses as well as active transport
such as bikes and e-bikes. National Express Group operates bus,
coach and rail services, with an exceptional record on safety and a
progressive approach to environmental improvements, particularly
in adopting the lowest emission buses in the UK.
Improving the management of water
Companies that can manage waste-water treatment, or produce
products or services that improve the efficiency of water distribution,
are vital and in demand. Sanitation is a first line of defence against
disease, much of which comes from contaminated water. We like
companies that improve sanitation and provide affordable access
to clean water. Ecolab is the global leader in providing customers
with technology that allows them to save key resources, particularly
water and energy, in the industrial and hospitality sectors.
