Creating long-term partnerships
At OnPath Energy, we seek to develop long-term partnerships with companies that share our values and vision of a more sustainable future.
OnPath Together
Partnerships based on integrity and trust
We aim to develop rewarding, mutually beneficial partnerships with businesses of all sizes who share our vision and values. Integral to our business partnerships is the ability to listen, to draw on each other’s strengths and expertise, and to work collaboratively to deliver projects of the highest standards, with quality, consideration and integrity.
We seek out companies that are committed to similar values of working sustainably and ethically, spreading the benefits and economic opportunity of our project right the way through our value chain.
As part of the OnPath Together development principles, we will:
- Give priority to placing local businesses on our tender lists
- Make local benefits and employment a material consideration for contracting
- Target a local economic impact of £1 million/MW for onshore wind projects
- Ensure a real, living wage is paid for everyone working on OnPath projects
- Require tenders for work to include a statement of local economic benefits, and oblige successful companies to deliver direct employment
Partnership with Natural Power since 2009
Developing long term, trust-based partnerships is an important way for us to maintain our high standards and quality of delivery. We’ve partnered with Natural Power, independent experts in delivering renewable energy projects since 2009.
In addition to being experts in their field and being based locally to our operations, they share similar values to OnPath Energy – ensuring that new renewable energy infrastructure is shaped around the requirements of local people and the environment.
I’ve worked in partnership with OnPath (formerly Banks) for many years at Kype Muir, and I can wholeheartedly say they are the best client I’ve ever worked for. Working together we support each other to deliver ethically-led and sustainable projects. The lines of communication with the team at OnPath are always open and transparent which has led to a highly successful partnership throughout the lifetime of this project.
