National Grid
National Grid is an international electricity
and gas company and one of the largest investor-owned energy companies
in the world. We play a vital role in delivering gas and electricity
to many millions of people across Great Britain and North Eastern
US in an efficient, reliable and safe manner. We are committed to
safeguarding our global environment for future generations and providing
all our customers with the highest standards of service through investment
in our networks and through our talented, diverse workforce.
National Grid is a committed,
responsible, energetic and active corporate ‘neighbour’.
We support our local communities practical ways in preference to
making financial donations. We focus on activities which are linked
to the nature of our business, especially skills development, safety
and the environment.
National Grid employs around 2,000 at its head
office in Warwick and through the company community volunteering
programme employees have the opportunity to share their business
skills and make a difference through literacy, numeracy, enterprise
and engineering support schemes with local schools. Employees are
also encouraged to volunteer their business or sporting skills by
supporting people with learning disabilities through charity partner
Special Olympics Great Britain. In addition the company carries out
the majority of its employee team building in the community. By working
with a small number of local organisations to seek out safe, effective
and practical community-based team building opportunities we benefit
the community at the same time as developing our staff.
External Communications
Manager Julian Buttery said: “We’re
delighted to support the local community through the Carols at the
Castle event. In practical terms we’ve taken on the poster,
ticket and carol sheet printing and will be encouraging our employees
to come along on the night. We’re sure the event will be a
great success and the funds raised will really benefit local charities”
