Governance
Doing the right thing, the right way!
Our leadership in the clean energy revolution is underpinned by strong governance, guided by clear principles and ethical practices. These are embedded across our business through robust structures, corporate controls, and our Code of Conduct.
Anchored in our core values of working together, integrity, excellence and boldness.
This commitment to good governance across our workplace, the marketplace, the environment, and the communities in which we operate enables sustained growth and the continued advancement of our mission.
Our Speak Up Line
Stamping out unethical or unlawful behaviour needs a culture of openness in which it can be called out.
The Mainstream Speak Up Line empowers colleagues within our business, and any other interested party outside of it, to do just that.
It might be getting reassurance that a particular conduct is Code-compliant, or it might be reporting a suspected violation. It starts with a single call or click of a button.
You can choose to remain anonymous and the 24/7 reporting service is operated by an independent service provider, EQS.
Looking out for human and labour rights
There is no place for unfair treatment or forced labour in our own business; there can be no countenance of modern slavery or human trafficking in a just energy transition.
We take our responsibility to respect human rights, and to protect vulnerable individuals and groups of people affected by our business and throughout our supply chain, very seriously. We are working to continuously improve our controls and processes in relation to human resources, risk management, due diligence and procurement to ensure that rights are not infringed.
This commitment is made in accordance with section 54 of the (UK) Modern Slavery Act 2015, respects all applicable local labour laws, and follows social safeguards defined by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprise, the International Labour Organisation and the International Bill of Human Rights.
