Sustainability

We work to embed sustainability across our business and strive to continuously improve our impact on the environment and society.

Sustainability, to us, means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It means leaving the planet in as good or in a better state for our children than the state we found it in – ensuring a healthy world for generations to come.

As we transform into a pure-play regulated utility company, we also transition to our next interim ESG target period. A new set of targets has been developed that aim to guide our ESG efforts to 2030, focused on continued improvement to priority items.
