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 infrastructure for the safe and reliable transport of energy from the North Sea to shore. Today for Dutch offshore natural gas, and tomorrow potentially for hydrogen, CO₂ and other energy carriers.

In this way, we connect today’s security of supply with a future-proof energy system.

Our Vision

Existing infrastructure as the foundation for the energy system of the future

The North Sea remains strategically important to the energy supply of the Netherlands and Northwestern Europe. At the same time, the energy system is undergoing fundamental change.

We believe existing infrastructure can continue to play a key role in this transition. By safely and intelligently using our assets, and repurposing them where possible, we can limit new investments, reduce societal costs and accelerate the development of new energy chains.

NGT looks beyond today and beyond a single energy carrier: we are committed to keeping strategic energy infrastructure valuable for the energy system of tomorrow.

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.
