Building a sustainable, secure and affordable energy supply and economic recovery are among the biggest challenges we will face this century but they offer exciting opportunities for those with the skills and motivation.

EDF Energy is helping its customers forge a new, sustainable, relationship with their use of energy.  The company powered London 2012 with low carbon energy and is at the heart of the UK nuclear renaissance.  It is harnessing the power of digital technology to improve openness and deliver better service

Vincent de Rivaz has led EDF Energy for over 10 years.  He has steered the company on a journey which has put sustainability right at the heart of what it does.  He initiated the company's Sustainability Commitments, one of the most far reaching programmes in the energy sector.
