For the first time, this plan brings together our environmental commitments and social value ambitions in a single, integrated approach. It reflects the scale of transformation required to support the UK’s transition to net zero, while ensuring that communities, nature and future generations benefit from the infrastructure we build today

The plan is built around four strategic pillars that guide our actions:

• Climate Action – accelerating progress towards net zero and reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain
• Nature Positive – protecting, restoring and enhancing the natural environment
• One Planet Living – operating within planetary limits through responsible resource use
• Social Value – creating lasting benefits for communities, jobs, skills and local supply chains

The action plan includes 25 commitments, supported by annual environmental milestones to track progress and performance. During RIIO T3, we will adopt an industry recognised social value reporting framework across NGET and our supply chain, strengthening consistency, transparency and accountability. This approach will establish a clear baseline, enable measurable targets, and support robust tracking of our social value outcomes.
