Celebrating World Environment Day at AWE

AWE prides itself on its standards of environmental management and in conserving and enhancing the AWE estate.

This week, coinciding with World Environment Day, we are publishing our commitments to improving our wildlife habitats in a five-year Biodiversity Action Plan, the first to be published externally.

*The United Nations World Environment Day has been promoting awareness of the environment since 1947. The day is focused on encouraging the global population to do something to help protect the environment. This year the theme is biodiversity.
