Our strategy and objectives provide direction and clarity on how we are going to achieve our vision. We have recently launched our line of sight framework that establishes a direct link between our strategy and Company objectives and employees’ individual objectives.

Line of sight shows us how what we do every day connects directly to National Grid's vision and strategy and contributes to our company's success.
