Our Vision, Mission, and Principles
The Panel’s vision is for a Scotland where everyone lives in an energy efficient home and has access to affordable clean energy – a Scotland where no one lives in fuel poverty.
The Panel’s work is driven by its mission to:
- Strengthen fuel poverty policy, legislation and practice
in Scotland and the UK. - Eradicate fuel poverty and increase resilience by engaging with people with lived experience and those who support them.
- By advising Scottish Ministers, scrutinising progress, and advocating for action.
In working to realise our vision and achieve our mission, the Panel aims to foster
an ethos supported by these principles:
- Independent – undertake work that is independent and objective.
- Transparent – be open and transparent, bringing our Code of Conduct principles to all that we do.
- Collaborative – work in an inquisitive, consultative, and collaborative way, including in the development, delivery and sharing of our thinking and advice.
- Dynamic – provide visionary and dynamic advice and input to both long term challenges and the response needed to immediate need.
- Understanding – be respectful and supportive listeners to all, particularly offering a safe space for those with lived experience of fuel poverty to share their insights, understanding and views.
