Our advisory panels
Our advisory panels
Our stakeholder advisory panels are an integral part of our stakeholder engagement strategy. The panels are made up of key stakeholder organisations and individuals who provide insights into our stakeholders’ priorities and influence and shape our business decisions.
Engaging with our stakeholders and listening and acting on what we hear is vital. We know that we can only be successful when we deliver outcomes that are valued by the communities we serve.
Our stakeholder advisory panelists are experts in their field who provide advice, guidance and oversight of our current and future performance and investment. With the support of the panels, our Independent Stakeholder Group provides our regulator Ofgem with independent scrutiny of our business plan and its ongoing delivery.
Input from our panels has strenghtened and simplified our stakeholder engagement cycle, embedding it in our company governance process and ensuring our stakeholders' priorities shape the way we work.
