Utilities have an increasingly high-profile role in delivering net zero, protecting the environment and supporting customers. There is now a clear expectation that these providers of lifeline services go beyond their regulatory requirements in all of these areas. Utilities know they have a duty to demonstrate efficiency, innovation, ambition and a genuine commitment to their customers and their communities. These are long-term responsibilities and require energy and water companies to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce that is fit for future challenges.

The Utility Week Awards are a celebration of achievement across all of these areas – highlighting the hard work, dedication and creativity at the heart of the industry.
