Our sustainability pillarsSustainability means doing the right thing, with an eye toward the long run. Our sustainability strategy looks into the future, promoting responsible company growth through the economic, social and environmental decisions we make today. Because it touches on all six of our Values, sustainability factors into every one of those major decisions.
That’s why sustainability is built into how we provide energy. Our long-term strategic plan includes carbon reductions and the expansion of renewable energy. But we also recognize that our company’s growth depends on the support of strong, thriving communities in which we serve. And we know that investing in the personal development and well-being of our employees brings value many times over.
Achieving balance has always been integral to our company’s operations. Our energy vision and strategy embraces four guiding principles that are grounded in sustainability:
Implementing innovative customer solutions
Advancing clean energy
Building a smarter, stronger power grid
Strengthening our communities
All of these sustainable principles are part of “powering beyond,” which will transform, grow and optimize our business well into the future. Optimize
