Net Zero
Our commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions is a driving force behind our performance. We strive to be the safest, most reliable, and cost-efficient electricity network in the UK. By leading the way in addressing Net Zero and Energy System Transition challenges, we ensure that we protect vulnerable customers.
Our commitment to an inclusive workforce
The future of our business rests on our people. Every single person we employ must feel like they are wanted, listened to and respected, whatever their background and beliefs. This is why Diversity and Inclusiveness is one of our core values.
We build inclusion from the top, with diversity workshops and seminars that educate our management team on the unconscious biases that can affect the way we treat people and how we can overcome these. We provide a platform for employees to share their views, tell us what we’re doing well and make recommendations for improvement.
Our teams go the extra mile to support the communities we serve
In the face of the ongoing cost of living crisis and rising energy bills, we're stepping up to support vulnerable communities and lead the way in sustainability. We're committed to caring for those who need it most, from providing emergency welfare services during power outages to tackling fuel poverty and ensuring no one is left behind in the transition to Net Zero. With initiatives like the Green Home Support website and the STEM career ambassador programme, we're not only delivering energy but also inspiring the next generation and creating opportunities for all. Watch our video to see how we're making a lasting impact on our employees, customers, and the planet.
