Our aspirations for National Grid's businesses will only be achieved with the commitment and dedication of all employees. That applies as much to targets for adding shareholder value as it does to the manner in which everyone works with colleagues, customers and the wider community. National Grid's potential can only be realised if the full potential of all our employees is realised.

The opportunities for skill, talent and innovation are plentiful within National Grid and we are committed to ensuring that everyone is equipped to deliver their best. We will work with employees to develop and share skills and conduct our business with other stakeholders in accordance with the highest standards of corporate governance.
