Alliander sees corporate social responsibility (CSR) not just as an activity, but as a mindset. Alliander aims to be reliable, committed and the best when it comes to implementing all its core social and public activities. Our 2008 Corporate Social Responsibility report highlights many relevant examples.
As a national and regional player, we have a duty to contribute to a better society. We do this, of course, by carrying out our core activities to the best of our ability, namely maintaining and managing the electricity and gas distribution grids in our concession area. But also by striving for optimum reliability of supply and by taking the lead in sustainability and energy transition.
In this context we initiate projects involving, for example, the installation of ‘smart meters’ for retail customers and facilitating local energy production among consumers, market gardeners and companies. The Step2Work project offers people outside the labour market the opportunity to work. We are also starting pilots for electric cars.
By seeking collaboration with other network companies, we can enhance the efficiency of grid management in the Netherlands, without compromising reliability. Joint benefits can also be realised in the fields of innovation, procurement and market facilitating.
