National Grid’s Chief Executive, Steve Holliday, said: “Minimising our impact on the environment while delivering safe, secure and economic supplies of energy to customers is not an option, it is a must. And the two have to be tackled together. We have already reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 35 per cent, but we need to do more. Adopting carbon budgets and integrating them into our business performance process will encourage our employees to identify new ways to achieve the challenging 80 per cent reduction target, and ensure emissions reductions remain at the heart of our operational decision-making.”
  • Emissions reduction target raised to 80% by 2050
  • Ground-breaking initiative linking carbon budgets with performance
  • Carbon reductions at the core of operational decision-making to encourage ‘bottom-up’ employee involvement
