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.

Valuing an inclusive, diverse and talented workforce

We will create an inclusive workplace and treat all our employees fairly and with respect. We will also make sure our employees have the chance to develop to their full potential, regardless of race, gender, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion and background.

We want National Grid to be a place where people want to work and where they have the skills, knowledge, training and resources to do their job. We will also trust them to use their skills and expertise to make the right decisions. We are committed to making sure the environment within which we work encourages our employees to develop their skills and grow as individuals. We will also make sure people’s efforts are recognised and rewarded.

We have a duty to provide a working environment free of harassment, bullying and unfair discrimination.

Our Global Inclusion Charter and Human Resources Policy show how we will do this.
