Our Framework for Responsible Business

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.

Making safety and well-being central to the way we work

We recognise that our operations potentially give rise to risk. We will work hard to eliminate or minimise those risks and we believe by doing so we can prevent all injuries and harm to our employees, our business partners and members of the public.  We further believe that everyone in National Grid, collectively and individually, has a part to play to achieve that.

If something does go wrong, we will investigate this to make sure we learn from it, and share what we find to prevent it from happening again.

We believe we can only achieve unparalleled safety performance when individuals are as free as possible from distractions caused by both physical and emotional harm. So for us, success is more than just avoiding injuries and harm - it also includes improving the wellbeing of individuals. We will actively encourage our employees to make a positive impact on their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.

Our commitment to working in a safe and healthy workplace is set out in our Safety and Wellbeing Policy and our Process Safety Commitment Statement.
