RES’ sustainability agenda is ‘to power positive change by ensuring that its operations, products and services make a net positive contribution to society and the environment.’ RES has an ESG Policy and Strategy agreed at Group Executive level, and the ESG teams integrate this strategy, measure performance, and communicate sustainability policies and activities to the wider group.

As TRIG’s Operational Manager, overview and management of operational ESG activities are led by RES, who have extensive experience in supporting a variety of ESG frameworks. RES keeps active sight of the Operational KPI’s published in the interim and annual reports, which include energy use, emissions data, habitat management, homes equivalent powered, displaced carbon, Local Electricity Discount Scheme, and community outreach activities. RES strive to keep and maintain health and safety standards on site, good relationships with local communities, and enhanced habitat management.
