Innovation at SGN

At SGN we are committed to driving the future of gas distribution, ensuring that our networks are the best they can be today but are also adaptable to the needs of tomorrow.

We are driving smarter, more efficient, and sustainable networks now, while also exploring new technologies and possibilities to reimagine the future of our sector.

Our innovation focus

Safe

We always put safety first, whether it’s looking after our customers, making sure our colleagues stay safe, or keeping the gas flowing safely. We test new ideas to make sure they help keep everyone safe. For example, we might try new tools or technology that help workers detect gas leaks quicker, so we can stop any problems before they happen.

Efficient

Being efficient means not wasting time, materials, or energy. We want to make sure everything we do is done in the smartest way possible. For example, if we find a quicker way to fix a gas pipe or use less material when building something, we’ll try it out. By doing things more efficiently, we can save money and reduce the impact on the environment—while still making sure everything is safe. 

Sustainable

Sustainability is all about protecting the planet for the future. We don’t just want our gas network to be safe; we want it to be eco-friendly too. This means using less energy, recycling materials, and finding ways to lower our carbon footprint. For example, we might look for ways to repair gas pipes that use fewer materials, or switch to energy sources that don’t harm the environment. We aim to help the world reach net zero carbon emissions.
