Our environment

We are committed to achieving the highest standards of environmental performance and play our part in enabling the UK's transition to a low carbon future.

Our environmental activities go beyond reducing our own business carbon footprint and looks to influence and challenge the behaviour of our people and communities so that we can all play our part towards a more sustainable future. 

Our focus is to deliver a cleaner future and want to lead by example by becoming net zero in our own operations by 2038, reducing our impacts on the environment and ensuring we help others to achieve their own net zero carbon ambitions.

As a DNO we are in a unique position in the energy transition and will be responsible for distributing the increased electricity demanded by the move away from fossil fuels and ensuring that low carbon technologies can be efficiently connected to the network.

  • Reducing our environmental impact 
  • Optimising resources & reducing waste
  • Enhancing our natural environment 
  • Supporting colleagues and communities in the transition to net zero
  • Driving down our carbon emissions and becoming net zero
