We’ve made some good progress against the goals of our Energy and Sustainability Strategy 2020-22, improving the energy efficiency of thousands of homes and reducing our operational impact. We’ve also supported customers with energy advice and financial support and will continue to do so, particularly as many people struggle to heat their homes due to rising energy bills.
