Stakeholder Engagement

Listening to our stakeholders – and acting on your feedback

Our stakeholders help shape the services we provide. We listen to and act on stakeholder feedback to make sure we continue to deliver outstanding levels of gas safety, reliability and customer service, so we’re trusted and valued by the millions of people we serve every day.

We really value your opinion and would like you to continue to help us shape our business in the future. There are lots of ways you can get in touch and be involved:

  • Become one of our 'critical friends'  - or get involved with our customer panels
  • Take part in our online surveys
  • Talk to us about partnering or pitch an innovation project for funding
  • Attend one of our local community events, letting us know your thoughts on our services
  • Receive updates on how we are performing

And this summer, to help us shape our Business Plan from 2021, we’re asking people to have their say as part of our Let’s Connect campaign, answer a short online survey on our services – and be in with a chance of winning a prize, such as an Amazon gift voucher.
