Good governance is essential to achieving our environmental and social objectives, as well as ensuring the long-term success of our business. Our decision-making balances People, Planet and Profit to ensure that we are building resilience.
Ultimate oversight and direction for the governance of Vital Energi sits with the Group Board. Our wider board structure and diversity links the leadership levels of our company, ensuring that people with extensive knowledge and experience of the industry we work in are the driving force behind all that we do.
Representatives of the Board are highly experienced in the commercial renewable energy industry, with some having worked in the industry for over 30 years. In fact, they are some of the most experienced people in the market, having built some of the UK's very first Heat Network schemes.
