Delivering a sustainable network
Reducing our environmental impact
Minimising harm is not the limit of our ambition; we are here to do good. Through our long-term targets to move away from transporting unabated methane, we intend to be part of the resolution to the climate emergency and nature crisis. Our Environmental Action Plan is informed by professional expertise, industry best practice, our years of operational activity, and direct feedback from our stakeholders.
Innovation
We recognise our vital role in developing options for our gas network in a range of future energy system scenarios. While maintaining secure, reliable and cost-effective services for gas customers today and through the transition, we intend to develop new ways to support vulnerable consumers and explore options to decarbonise our network. By understanding how we can prepare, our plans will support system efficiency and long-term value for money.
Workforce and Supply Chain Resilience
Our workforce commitments for RIIO-GD3 rely on having appropriately skilled, talented and dedicated people, so we have engaged with colleagues and stakeholders to develop a strategy that is fit for the future. This includes commitments to be an employer of choice in the region we serve, and investing in the knowledge and skills of our colleagues. In our Supply Chain, we will continue to gain maximum value for money from everything we buy, to achieve outcomes that include complying with regulations to upholding our operational efficiency.
