GRTgaz - Activity and sustainable development report 2018. Progressing together towards a more responsible world

GRTgaz services and develops the natural gas transmission network that covers most of France. It contributes to the energy security of the regions and performs public service missions to guarantee the continuity of supply to natural gas consumers: - industrial sites directly connected to the transmission network; - private individuals, local authorities and businesses served by the public distribution networks, themselves supplied by the transmission network. The GRTgaz network enjoys a strategic position at the heart of the gas flows in Europe thanks to interconnections with neighbouring countries and a seaboard where it can receive natural gas from all over the world in gaseous or liquefied form in French LNG terminals. GRTgaz thus contributes to the energy security of France and the smooth operation of the European natural gas market. With more than 32,000 km of buried pipes, GRTgaz transports its customers' gas under the best conditions of safety, cost and reliability while preserving the activity of the regions, landscapes and biodiversity. GRTgaz contributes to this with innovative solutions for developing renewable gases, encouraging new uses in the mobility and boosting the synergies of electricity and gas systems. This activity and sustainable development report presents, first, GRTgaz in brief, its strategy in light of the energy transition, its Governance and Executive committee, and then, a series of focusses to illustrate the company's commitment for a safer and more ethical world (safety of people and permanent vigilance, Performance of the transmission network of tomorrow, the Anti-corruption action), for a more efficient and greener World (environmental actions, development of renewable gas, innovation in gas, Smart grids and intelligent networks), and for a more open and inclusive world (social innovation for harmonious development, future projects for and with the regions, Some good advice)
