Our Framework for Responsible Business outlines how we will achieve these aims by managing our business in a responsible way. It explains how we take account of environmental, economic and societal issues when we make our business decisions. Our Standards of Ethical Business Conduct, global policies and public position statements support the framework.

Safeguarding the environment for future generations
Protecting the environment is extremely important to us and is a significant part of our reputation as a responsible business.
Investing in and running safe and reliable electricity and gas infrastructure means we use energy and raw materials, and produce waste. The effect we have on the environment and the communities we serve depends on how we, together with our supply chain, work. Our goal is to reduce any impact we may have and look for ways to improve the environment.
In particular, we believe that we must lead the way in tackling climate change and supporting society in reducing the amount of greenhouse gas it releases into the environment. We will do this by helping to change the way energy markets work and by helping our customers use energy responsibly and efficiently. We will make sure we are a sustainable, low carbon business.
How we manage the environmental impacts of our business is set out in our Environment Policy. |
