We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Business Durham will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Business Durham recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Simon will officially assume his role as CEO on 2nd March 2026.

GBE-N Chair, Simon Bowen, said:

I am delighted to welcome Simon to GBE-N at such a pivotal moment for the UK’s nuclear energy future. His leadership and experience will be invaluable as we deliver the first SMR project at Wylfa and help realise the Government’s new nuclear ambitions.

Simon brings a wealth of expertise and a proven track record that will help deliver the UK’s first small modular reactors at Wylfa in North Wales.

I look forward to working with Simon and Great British Energy - Nuclear’s leadership team as we enter a new golden age of nuclear, which will create thousands of jobs and boost the UK’s energy security.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Money Advice Hub will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Money Advice Hub recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:

- UK Service Spouses And Partners

- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR): business model
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-27)

Updates on the proposed commercial frameworks for the Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR) business model and related policy.

These documents provide details of the proposed Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR) business model and related policy.

August 2025

The Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR) Business Model Summary document provides an overview of the key design features of the GGR business model, including the contract terms proposed for projects in the HyNet Track-1 expansion Project Negotiation List (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hynet-track-1-expansion-selected-projects/hynet-expansion-project-negotiation-list).

The Greenhouse Gas Removals Contract (‘GGR Contract’) is the contract which underpins the GGR business model. This is the first published version of the full-form GGR Contract, and it comprises the draft Front End Agreement and Standard Terms and Conditions.

In addition to the GGR Contract, projects proceeding to negotiations as part of the HyNet Track-1 expansion process may be partially supported with government grant funding, known as the GGR Grant Funding Agreement (GGR GFA). The proposed GGR GFA Grant Offer Letter and GGR GFA Terms and Conditions are published alongside the GGR Contract.

The British Standards Institution (BSI) published interim quantification methodologies for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) in July 2025. These interim quantification methodologies, also referred to as ‘Minimum Quality Thresholds’, will be used to support any relevant negotiations ahead of the development of the full GGR Standard.

December 2023

The December 2023 business model update provides further details on the proposed commercial frameworks for the GGR and Power BECCS business models. It includes an update on the government’s approach to developing methodologies for engineered GGRs, including monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV).

The indicative Heads of Terms for the GGR Business Model provides a framework for the principal terms and conditions that are expected to be included in the GGR Agreement for initial projects.

In addition, ERM has published an independent review of engineered GGR standards and methodologies, commissioned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero with the aim of understanding the potential applicability of existing standards and methodologies to UK business models.
