Over the next two years, the EDA is committed to the Accord and will identify, implement and track progress of organizational initiatives supporting a number of commitments as outlined in the Accord.

“We look forward to doing our part in making meaningful change within our organization, and to promoting the accord throughout the electricity distribution sector,” said the organization.
