“As we ask ourselves what kind of planet we are leaving our children, so we must also ask what kind of children we are leaving our planet. This is a human challenge not just a technical one. By acting now and acting together, we can rise to the challenge and tackle climate change head-on.” Vincent de Rivaz
Climate change, energy affordability, security of supply – these are global issues requiring the complete transformation of our company, our industry and our nation.
For this we need a diverse range of energy sources which must include nuclear. We believe there is no other practical way of securing enough low-carbon affordable energy for the long term.
Our Sustainability Commitments reflect our coming together with British Energy in 2009, and build on and strengthen Our Climate Commitments and Our Social Commitments launched in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The Commitments show how we will lead wholehearted collaboration in five areas:
- Reducing carbon and waste
- Delivering low-carbon nuclear responsibly
- Helping our customers
- Building a world class culture; and
- Serving our communities
Our Sustainability Commitments
We believe the scale of Our Sustainability Commitments goes far beyond anything else in the energy industry.
