DALLAS, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, announced National Grid ( NGG ), a leading electricity, natural gas, and clean energy delivery company, is celebrating its 17-year partnership with ISN. Since 2009, National Grid ( NGG ) has leveraged ISNetworld to help streamline contractor management processes and improve jobsite safety across operations in New England and New York.

“National Grid values its long-standing partnership with ISN, which supports our commitment to strong contractor assurance, oversight, and jobsite safety,” said Samantha Schaefer, Safety Policy & Programs Director at National Grid ( NGG ). “Leveraging ISNetworld’s tools to qualify, monitor, and analyze contractor performance helps strengthen our ability to proactively identify risk, engage contractors, and reinforce consistent safety expectations; supporting safe, reliable energy delivery for the communities we serve.”

National Grid ( NGG ) delivers electricity and natural gas to millions of customers across New England and New York, with a focus on enabling work to be done safely, reliably, and sustainably. Through its membership in the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and American Gas Association (AGA), the company engages with industry peers to share learning and continuously improve how work is planned, supported, and performed, particularly when work is carried out by contractor partners.

National Grid ( NGG ) uses ISNetworld to support a consistent and thoughtful approach to contractor onboarding, qualification, and oversight. Rather than treating safety as a compliance exercise, the platform helps create a shared understanding of expectations, supports meaningful conversations about risk, and reinforces safe work planning before work begins. Tools such as RAVS 360™ provide insight into how contractor health, safety, and environmental programs are designed and implemented in practice, helping National Grid ( NGG ) and its contractors identify strengths, surface gaps, and focus improvement efforts where they matter most.

Training and site visibility tools within ISNetworld further support workers by helping ensure they have the preparation, information, and context needed to perform work safely. By increasing visibility into where and how contractor work is occurring, National Grid ( NGG ) is better positioned to anticipate challenges, coordinate effectively across the business, and strengthen contractor assurance.

“National Grid demonstrates how contractor management can be grounded in learning, partnership, and continuous improvement,” said Jenny Buckley, Executive Vice President of Energy at ISN. “ISN is proud to support National Grid’s approach to contractor management by providing tools to help identify risk, support informed decision-making, and strengthen the processes that enable people to work safely.”
