At NIE Networks, we aim to continually improve the health, safety, and wellbeing of our teams. We are working towards an inclusive and accessible workplace, in which everyone can thrive as their true selves. Our People, Planet, Places approach also extends to our value chain workers, ensuring they too are afforded worker protections.
Another key role for NIE Networks is helping our customers to achieve net zero through reliable and resilient clean electricity sources. Through our next business plan period, RP7, we will improve Network Resilience and reduce the length of power cuts. Improved access to the electricity networks will allow greater electrification as Northern Ireland decarbonises.
