Mission, Vision & Core Values
Our mission, vision, and core values ultimately converge on a single guiding principle:
Safe and reliable today. Responsible and prepared for tomorrow.
That is how we manage our infrastructure, how we collaborate, and how we fulfill our role in supplying energy to the Netherlands and Northwest Europe.
Our Mission
We connect the North Sea to today’s energy system—and to the energy system of the future.
NGT manages critical energy infrastructure for the safe, reliable, and efficient transportation and handling of energy from the North Sea to shore.
Today, our infrastructure plays a key role in the transportation of Dutch offshore natural gas. At the same time, we’re looking ahead. We aim to use our existing pipelines, platforms, and onshore facilities responsibly for as long as possible and, where feasible, adapt them for new applications, such as the transportation of hydrogen and CO₂.
In this way, we contribute to today’s security of supply and to a future-proof energy system.
Our Vision
Existing infrastructure as the foundation for the energy system of the future
The North Sea remains of strategic importance for the energy supply of the Netherlands and Northwest Europe. However, the way we produce, transport, and use energy is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
We believe that existing energy infrastructure can continue to play an important role in this transition.
By continuing to use infrastructure safely, connecting it intelligently, and repurposing it where possible, we can limit new investments, reduce societal costs, and accelerate the development of new energy chains.
That is why we look beyond the original function of our assets. We view NGT as a long-term manager of strategic energy infrastructure, with a responsibility that extends beyond a single energy carrier.
Our ambition is clear: NGT aims to ensure that the infrastructure that is essential to our energy supply today remains valuable to the energy system of the future wherever possible.
Our Core Values
Our core values guide how we work, make decisions, and collaborate with colleagues, contractors, customers, shareholders, and other partners.
Safety
Safety always comes first.
We manage critical energy infrastructure and are mindful of the responsibility that comes with it. We identify and manage risks, hold each other accountable, and make no compromises when it comes to the safety of people, facilities, and the environment
At NGT, working safely is not a separate activity. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Reliable
We do what we say we will do and ensure that our infrastructure functions as intended.
Our customers and society must be able to rely on the availability of our infrastructure. This requires expertise, discipline, sound asset management, and a focus on continuity.
Reliability also applies to the way we work together; we are professional, transparent, and honor our commitments.
Accountable
We take ownership of our decisions and results.
At NGT, the lines of communication are short and the level of responsibility is high. We expect each other to take initiative, act with care, and take responsibility for our actions.
In doing so, we look beyond our own organization. We take into account the interests of our community, partners, and society at large, and we handle the infrastructure entrusted to us with care.
Looking Ahead
We manage today’s infrastructure with an eye toward tomorrow.
The energy sector is changing. That’s why we remain curious, seek out better solutions, and explore new possibilities for our existing infrastructure.
We combine our operational experience with an open-minded approach to technology, collaboration, and new energy chains. Not every development is predictable, but we ensure that NGT is prepared for change.
