As guardians of Ireland’s vital €2.7bn, 14,617km national gas network, owned by the people of Ireland, we aim to deliver our services in a sustainable manner and ensure we contribute to the protection of the environment while supporting the social and economic development of the communities we operate in, as well as the wider economy.
The six United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals at the core of our Sustainability Strategy
In 2019, we developed our Sustainability Strategy with our Vision 2050, 2030 Business Strategy and six SDGs at its core. Working with our key stakeholders, we identified our sustainability priorities through a materiality assessment process.
Sustainability at Gas Networks Ireland includes supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees in the workplace and positively impacting the communities in which we operate. Our approach to sustainability is underpinned by our three economic, social and environmental pillars and six aforementioned SDGs.
Sustainability is a key pillar of our business strategy and we continue to embed sustainability into our strategy and purpose. We work closely with our stakeholders and are committed to being transparent about our sustainability performance.
During 2020 we continued to embed sustainability into our strategy and purpose.
