Introducing our Get River Positive Independent Advisory Panel

Back in March we launched Get River Positive, a series of five industry leading commitments to transform the health of our region’s rivers. 

Our teams are delivering excellent results – this year Severn Trent again received the highest four-star rating from the Environment Agency (one of only three companies to do so) – and we're moving faster and quicker, in some cases 20 years ahead, of sector targets to improve the quality of our region’s rivers.

However, we are by no means complacent, and with that in mind, we are excited to introduce our Get River Positive Independent Advisory Panel. 

The panel consisting of six independent experts (more on them below!) will oversee our progress against Get River Positive.  

The panel will meet once a quarter and will discuss and give advice on the implementation of each pledge, and monitor progress being made against each of the five commitments. 

Let’s meet the panel, starting with the Chair, Julia Casperd…






Representing Severn Trent will also be Gemma Eagle, Senior Assistant Company Secretary and Paul Evans, Community & Education Lead.
