We, at National Grid, will be the foremost international electricity and gas company, delivering unparalleled safety, reliability and efficiency vital to the well being of our customers and communities.

We are committed to being an innovative leader in energy management and to safeguarding our global environment for future generations.

National Grid is committed to the protection and enhancement of the environment, always seeking new ways to minimise the environmental impact of our past, present and future activities.

We believe that everyone is responsible for good environmental performance. In particular:

• the board has overall responsibility for protecting the environment by setting objectives for our operations, and ensuring that environmental matters are integral to the way in which we manage our business;
• management provides visible leadership that promotes good environmental performance and commits the appropriate resources to achieve our environmental goals; and
• we are all responsible for ensuring that our actions and behaviours protect the environment. Through the power of action we aim to create a culture where people ‘think environment’ when carrying out their daily work activities and have a respect for the environment that they can take beyond National Grid.
