Our Investment Proposition 

We are invested in a sustainable energy future

Since our foundation almost 100 years ago, we have always been fully invested in the lives of the customers and communities we serve. We plan for the long term, constantly striving to find solutions that benefit society, now and in the future.

In March 2024, we compiled a roadmap on how we plan to reach our ambitions set out in our strategy - Driven to Make a Difference: Achieving Net Zero by 2040. This roadmap set out our intermediate reduction targets, strategic performance initiatives (SPIs) as well as the work being undertaken by us to support decarbonisation across society more broadly.
