Positively shaping the energy and climate change agenda with our external stakeholders in both regions
Positively shaping the agenda
We aim to take the lead on the energy and climate change issues facing society. We will not allow ourselves to simply react to the initiatives of other relevant bodies. Instead, we will be proactive in leading the agenda to make sure we help safeguard the environment.
Our performance measure in this area is the qualitative monitoring of our contribution to various projects, committees, task forces and other initiatives aimed at addressing these issues.
In the last year, National Grid has raised its profile in the UK and US in the area of climate change. We have partnered with Ceres in the US and with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in the UK to seek their review and comment on our internal and external efforts to reduce our climate change impacts and shape our positive influence on legislators and regulators.
We have also been active participants in the UK, with such programmes and organisations as the RPI-X@20 group and Business in the Community, and in the US, with the shaping of state climate change regulations through our membership of the Clean Energy Group and collaboration with other entities such as Environment Northeast.
