National Grid lies at the heart of a transforming energy system.
Our business areas play a vital role in connecting millions of people to the energy they use, while continually seeking ways to make the energy system cleaner. National Grid Ventures and National Grid Partners also enable innovations to help revolutionise and decarbonise the future of energy.
Our vision
At National Grid, we share the belief that we need to stand for something beyond profit. We have a responsibility to demonstrate our contribution to society more broadly, whether that’s helping the young people of today to become the energy problem-solvers of tomorrow, supporting our customers to use energy more efficiently, or tackling climate change by targeting net zero for our own emissions by 2050.
That’s why our vision is to be at the heart of a clean, fair and affordable energy future.
Clean, because we want to enable the energy transition for the communities we serve.
Fair, because we want to help shape an energy future where everyone shares in the benefits and no one gets left behind.
Affordable, because energy bills should not be a burden as a result of the transition, and families should be able to pay for all their basic energy needs.
Our values
We know that how we deliver is as important as what we deliver. If our vision sets out ‘what’ we want to achieve, our values are the ‘how’. They help shape our spirit, attitude and what guides us.
We adapt and develop our values to align with the expectations of our customers and communities, without losing sight of the things that make us strong today.
Every day we do the right thing by:
- Act safely, inclusively and with integrity
- Support and care for each other
- Speak up, challenge and act
Every day we find a better way by:
- Work as one team to find solutions
- Embrace learning and new ideas
- Simplify to what really matters
We make it happen by:
- Be bold and act with passion and purpose
- Take ownership to deliver for customers
- Focus on progress over perfection
