National Grid’s role as a good corporate citizen supports our strategic ambitions, and is delivered through a sustained and consistent approach. 

 We have completed an external review of our community activities and we have developed a new community impact framework. We have set targets to improve our community profile around our key themes of education and skills, energy and environment, and community investment. Our key aims are:

• to improve employee engagement in Company community activities;
• to maintain and improve our supply of talent by promoting
  science, technology, engineering, and maths subject take up and achievement in schools;
• to use volunteering to develop employee skills; and
• to strengthen our corporate reputation.
