Our Values
Over the last two years, LondonEnergy, through a series of workshop and surveys, asked its employees, what is important to them as individuals and what is important for the Company they work for.
The result has been the establishment of three core values: "Be Safe, Have Trust, Own it".
At LondonEnergy, it is key that our values come from our People and we are delighted to share the details with you all.
At LondonEnergy, people are responsible for the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves, others, the environment and the business. People know and do the right thing. People take ownership for decisions and actions.
"Our core values are important. They say who we are as well as guide our actions and decisions as individuals, as a team and as a Company."
- Peter Sharpe, Managing Director
