Centrica's Climate Transition Plan
Reading time: 3 minutes
As the largest energy services and solutions company in the UK and Ireland, we have an opportunity as well as a responsibility, to reshape our future to one that’s fairer and more sustainable.
That’s why we’ve developed our Climate Transition Plan to set out our plans to become a net zero business by 2045 and help our customers be net zero by 2050, while ensuring a fair and affordable transition for all.
And it’s also why our strategy and purpose are rooted in providing energy services and solutions that’ll help our customers live sustainably, simply and affordably. In support of this, our People & Planet Plan sets out our net zero targets, and how we’ll continue to develop the diverse and inclusive team that’ll help us get there. Our Climate Transition Plan is the next step, explaining how we intend to achieve these goals.
“Getting to net zero is complex and like everyone else, we don’t have all the answers yet. But what I do know, is that our future as a business depends on delivering net zero and just as we’ve done for the last 200 years, we’ll continue to evolve and seize the opportunities the energy transition offers to ensure a fair and affordable transition for everyone.”

Ensuring a fair and affordable transition
For the transition to net zero to be a success, we can’t just focus on carbon emissions. Governments, regulators and energy companies amongst others, must prioritise people alongside planet, and work to deliver a smooth transition that doesn’t leave anyone behind.
So we’ll continue to champion the needs of our customers to ensure a fair and affordable transition by helping them navigate the changing energy landscape with our innovative services and solutions, whilst continuing to be there for those who need extra support with their energy bills. We’ll also work with colleagues to grow a greener and more inclusive team by generating thousands of high-quality green collar jobs with a focus on diversity and inclusion. And we’ll support communities by backing sustainable initiatives as well as collaborate with partners to ensure a low carbon supply chain.
