Through electricity as an enabler of regeneration, we are driven to make a difference for planet, place and people. We are taking a regenerative or ‘net positive’ approach to our actions as we want to restore and regenerate communities and natural ecosystems to create the conditions for human and natural life to thrive.
Our Sustainability Leadership Plan sets out our key ambitions and the actions we will take, as they relate to planet, place and people. Sharon McManus, our head of Sustainability, explains why the plan is critical to achieving our ambitions.
