The Energy Charter – a whole of energy sector initiative focused on embedding consumer-minded culture and conduct in energy businesses to create tangible improvements in price and service delivery – has released the presentation slides and webinar recording of its Stakeholder webinar.
Fifteen CEOs from across the gas and electricity supply chains have committed to developing a consumer charter to progress the culture and solutions required to deliver energy in line with community expectations.

The Energy Charter is be a principles-based disclosure regime that can be applied to all businesses across the gas and electricity supply chains. Adoption is voluntary, and all energy businesses will be encouraged to join.
