Powering Progress sets our strategy to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, generating value for our shareholders, our customers and wider society. As we move forward on this journey, we will power lives and respect nature while maintaining our core values of honesty, integrity, and respect for people. There are 4 pillars to our Powering Progress strategy.

  1. Achieving net-zero emissions: We are working with customers and others across key sectors of the economy to accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions. A net-zero world is where society stops adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
  2. Powering lives: We power lives by providing the vital energy people need, championing inclusion and contributing to local communities.
  3. Respecting nature: Powering Progress means respecting nature by protecting the environment, reducing waste and making a positive contribution to biodiversity.
  4. Generating shareholder value: Powering Progress generates value for our shareholders. It provides the financial strength to profitability transform our company, as we provide the energy the world needs today and transition to net-zero emission.
