In the report, FCC said it met the challenge Covid-19 presented them “in every way”.
“As the COVID crisis continued to affect the globe, the UK business has been working hand in hand with the UK Government as well as municipal and business clients to ensure that the waste and recycling services offered to citizens and industry were maintained,” the report added.
FCC said it serves over 16 million citizens in the UK, with the bulk (13.5 million) served through its energy from waste (EfW) plants, managing 6.2 million tonnes of waste.
The company said it will invest £10 billion and create 40,000 new jobs over the next decade.
It also generated 177MW of energy from its five EfW facilities ( Allington in Kent, Eastcroft in Nottinghamshire, Greatmoor in Buckinghamshire, Millerhill in Edinburgh, and Lincoln in Lincolnshire).

“By reinforcing our operational elasticity and capacity, and maintaining our strong team spirit, we have managed to continue to set FCC apart in the competitive environment we operate”.
