Purpose, promise and principles
The energy transition is a challenge that requires new ideas, new technologies and new behaviours that build on the strong foundations we have laid.
Our purpose
To connect everyone with a brighter energy future
Our purpose acts as a clear north star that provides direction for everyone to rally behind and support. Our Purpose is all about the connections we know are everywhere in energy, and that we need to help bring together. For us, ”a brighter energy future” is one that is more reliable, more efficient, and more affordable than ever before – that’s what we’re working for every day. It’s something we’re proud to say to others, but its role is more for us.
Our purpose is 'to connect everyone with a brighter energy future'
Our promise
Lighting the way ahead together
Connected to our Purpose, our Promise is the simplest expression of the benefit our Purpose brings. It’s about positivity, progress, and the humility that comes from knowing that we will only achieve our goals by working with others. It’s a phrase you’ll come to see more often in our external communication, and something we want to be recognised for.
Our promise is Lighting the way ahead together
Our principles
Ownership, courage and connection
As we rise to the challenges of the energy transition, TenneT has clear and inspiring principles to guide our employees’ mindset and behaviour. Our three principles are Ownership, Courage and Connection.
Ownership
We are accountable for our words, actions and decisions.
Courage
We are honest, open and clear about what we think. We dare to make bold decisions, take ambitious initiatives and are willing to learn from our mistakes.
Connection
We are involved with and work actively with other parties. The challenge of the energy transition requires us to do things differently and collaborate with a wide range of partners. We know that we do not have all the answers ourselves.
