There are two words that sit at the very heart of Centrica’s DNA.

As a FTSE 100 Energy Services and Solutions company, we want to create a more inclusive and sustainable future that supports our people, communities, and our customers, uniting all towards a common purpose. And for our planet, we have bold goals to fight climate change, lead the UK’s drive towards Net Zero and kickstart the hydrogen economy.

Whilst these ambitions provide great opportunities for us all, we know they’ll also be challenging. We’ll need to create thousands of high-quality, inclusive, green jobs to deliver our purpose and allow society to live sustainably, simply, and affordably. To do this, it’s crucial we engage with and tap into diversity of experience, a wide range of talent and inspirational leadership; Centrica and its Ex-Forces Pathway knows all of this exists in spades right across the Armed Forces community.

That is why at Centrica we believe every finalist nominated for the 2023 Soldiering on Awards is an exceptional example of the very best that community produces.  Centrica is delighted, humbled, and honoured to sponsor this year’s Finalists’ Reception at the House of Lords. It is a privilege for us to be involved in this common purpose, celebrating the stories of 36 outstanding finalists, all of whom have shown attributes such as determination, entrepreneurship, resolve, and selfless commitment.

Together, we shine a light on this community, champion their talents, and highlight the wide range of incredible individual and team achievements. Centrica looks forward immensely to meeting the finalists in July, to celebrate their contribution to society, community and country.
