In Britain we run systems that deliver gas and electricity across the entire country. In the North Eastern states of the US, we provide power directly to millions of customers. We hold a vital position at the centre of the energy system. We join everything up.

National Grid's job is to connect people to the energy they use. From the warmth and light we rely on at home, and the power which keeps our factories and offices going, to the infrastructure and technologies that are essential parts of our modern lifestyle.

That puts National Grid at the heart of one of the greatest challenges facing our society; the creation of new sustainable energy solutions for the future - and the development of an energy system that can underpin our economic prosperity in the 21st century.

We believe that a responsible approach to doing business is fundamental to what we do. In all our activities we operate within our Standards of Ethical Business Conduct, 'Doing the Right Thing'.

Benchmarking our performance helps us to understand our impact on society and to identify improvement we can make in the future.
