Read our roadmap Here’s how our story is unfolding In 2020, we made a commitment to help Britain achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 and limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 1.5°C. We started with the changes we need to make ourselves, taking action across our organisation to make sure the electricity we generate, and supply, is lower in carbon than ever before. But it’s not just about what we do. It’s about how we do it. Low-carbon electricity We’re enabling investment in 15GW of wind, nuclear and solar capacity by 2035. We’re taking carbon out of the energy mix The power sector is responsible for around 12% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Yet generating and supplying low carbon electricity is one of the main ways we will be able to significantly cut emissions from buildings, transport and industry, and help Britain achieve Net Zero. Download our sustainable business roadmap Sustainable living By 2035 we aim to help our household customers reduce their collective emissions by the equivalent of more than 70% of that arising from their 2019 electricity and gas use. We’re helping households switch to low carbon lifestyles through smart, innovative solutions Today, around a quarter of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the energy we use in our homes and to power our cars. So, to help Britain achieve Net Zero, we need to do everything we can to make it easy for our household customers to reduce their carbon footprints – at home and on the road. Download our sustainable business roadmap Sustainable working By 2035, we aim to help our business customers reduce their combined emissions by >80% of their 2019 electricity footprint. We’re empowering our business customers to switch to low carbon growth Some of the biggest contributions to slowing climate change lie in the plant rooms, offices and shop floors in which we all work. In fact, around 75% of UK territorial GHG emissions are related to business activity.
