The Board objectives are for FCC Communities Foundation to fund environmentally-friendly projects which meet a proven community need, offer value for money and are sustainable. They expect projects to benefit the natural, social or built environment and make a positive impact on local communities.
FCC Environment
FCC Environment is one of the UK’s leading waste and resource management companies. Their approach is to minimise the amount of waste that ends up in landfill by transforming it into valuable resources wherever possible.
They became FCC Environment in 2012 when Focsa Services (UK) and Waste Recycling Group (both part of global infrastructure, environmental services and energy group FCC Citizen Services) came together under the name FCC Environment. They employ nearly 2,404 people across the UK and operate a range of waste management sites including material recycling facilities (MRF), energy from waste (EfW) plants and landfill sites.
