Our mission is to bring sustainable energy solutions home to everyone.
EDF Energy has a mission ‘to bring sustainable energy solutions home to everyone.’ This guiding principle shapes the way we do business and places sustainability at the core of our strategy.
Sustainability is central to our Vision, Mission and Ambitions:
Our Vision: ‘Leading the energy change’
Our Mission: ‘To bring affordable low carbon energy solutions home to everyone’
Our Ambitions: These represent our balanced view of business success, focussing on achieving a ‘zero harm’ safety record, delivering strong financial performance, being first choice for customers, being a leader in sustainability, maintaining high performing people, and leading the way in nuclear power generation.
Our strategy centres on bringing affordable, low-carbon energy solutions home to everyone.
Leading the energy change
Modern life depends upon secure and affordable energy, generated safely and used wisely. Developing low-carbon sources of energy is key to ensuring this.
Burning carbon-intensive fossil fuels can no longer be the basis of our society’s quality of life. With our long-standing experience of delivering low-carbon electricity on a national and global scale, we are in a unique position to help lead the UK into a low carbon future. We are not prepared to keep our figures crossed against a backdrop of fluctuating scepticism about climate change. We believe the science is clear and that we have to act now. With companies like us providing leadership, there is a much greater prospect that we can make this transition to a low-carbon economy.
We are already making progress in delivering our vision, mission and the ambitions that underpin these. For further information please visit out performance report.
Achieve a zero harm record
We believe that all harm is preventable, so our aim is zero harm. That means providing workplaces that are safe for all and taking positive action to ensure the public is not harmed by our operations. We have a robust health and safety management system across our business and a clear governance framework in place to manage personal and process safety.
Deliver strong financial performance
We continue to deliver strong financial performance for our shareholders and EDF Group. For more details of how we contributed to the financial results of EDF Group please visit: www.edf.com
Be first choice for customers
We are a customer-focussed business that strives to provide affordable services that meet all of our customers’ needs. We aim to provide a high quality service for our customers by getting things right first time, every time. For more vulnerable customers, including households that have difficulty in covering the cost of fuel, we have been proactive in developing our policies and extra services, and continue to work with the UK Government in tackling the root causes of fuel poverty.

Be a leader in sustainability
We’re certain that sustainability must be at the heart of any energy company’s long-term strategy. We want to lead the way in tackling the biggest environmental and social issues facing our industry and we’ve clearly defined our agenda through Our Sustainability Commitments.
Maintain a team of high performing people
Our ambition to maintain a company of high performing people means we will actively engage with all of our employees. We want them to be involved in the business and to feel a shared sense of ownership. This means helping them to understand their role in achieving our business strategy and acting as strong advocates for our vision, mission and ambitions. It means providing them with the training, development and support necessary to achieve great things and creating an inclusive, diverse and respectful working environment where everyone can achieve their potential.
Lead the way in nuclear power generation
We believe nuclear power has a key role to play in helping to address climate change and in ensuring secure, low-carbon and affordable supplies of energy are sustained in the UK. Our parent company, EDF SA, has unique experience in building and running nuclear power stations as the world's largest nuclear power generator. In early 2009 we acquired British Energy, growing our capacity to build new nuclear power stations in the UK to ensure we lead the way in low-carbon electricity generation.
