Everyone who leaves for work in the morning should expect to return home at night in good health. Safety is our number one priority and going beyond zero harm is a collective commitment that we work hard to defend every day.
Lucy leads the Safety, Health and Environment team and has been instrumental in achieving a culture of zero harm across our business. She has achieved this by giving all employees the behavioural tools to make the right decision and avoid harm to themselves, colleagues and members of the public.
She was a key player in the development and implementation of the successful Stay Safe culture change programme, which has resulted in maintaining an injury free workplace for more than five years. Lucy has worked for UK Power Networks and its predecessor companies, SEEBOARD and EDF Energy, for 18 years in various safety roles including responsibility for the health and safety of more than 2,500 employees.
Organisations will have to play their part in the energy transition if we are to meet our Net Zero commitments. I see the role of finance – private as well as public – as being integral to the transition to facilitate speed of change and enable companies to decarbonise and deliver value from their energy networks.
