National Grid has been named one of the Ethisphere Institute’s ‘World’s Most Ethical Companies for 2012’. This is a significant achievement and recognition of our commitment to ethical leadership, compliance practices and corporate responsibility.

More nominations were received than ever before, so this year's winners truly represent the cream of the crop in corporate ethics and compliance.

Being recognised as a leader among the world’s most ethical companies shows that the programmes we have been implementing over the past few years are being noticed and appreciated. With all the changes in the company, we have continued to reinforce the importance of maintaining an ethical culture. This recognition shows that part of the fabric of our culture at National Grid is ‘doing the right thing.’”
