Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Community Impact
Community Partnerships With a Purpose
We're committed to supporting communities that are particularly vulnerable to economic, social and environmental inequities. We believe that a shift to clean energy needs to be accessible for all, and we are diligently working to ensure that our transition is just, fair and inclusive.
Our commitment includes:
- Supporting education enrichment goals
- Leveraging diverse workforce insights to support residential energy needs
- Encouraging our employees to volunteer with local community organizations
Philanthropy and volunteer events
In 2023, more than 6,000 employees gave over 31,000 hours volunteering their time to various charitable events that are aligned with our vision.
We remain committed partners in our communities, providing $6.8 million in grants and sponsorships in 2023, including $4.8 million in grants to support diverse, community-based organizations and the sponsorship of prominent signature events across all three states.
We offer Matching Grant, Dollars for Doers and Pledge Partner programs to employees and retirees in recognition of their generosity of time and philanthropy. In 2023, we contributed $647,000 through our employee giving programs.
Pro-equity Advisory Team
We are committed to improving our daily practices and interactions with our customers and communities to offer stronger equitable outcomes, accountability, and fairness for all. 
As we invest in our systems and explore clean energy solutions, we know we must do so in ways that respect our customers and communities — especially those that have historically and those that continue to carry an environmental burden.
Since 2021, the company’s Vice President of Corporate Citizenship and Equity has led the company’s enterprise-wide focus on pro-equity, establishing a cross-functional Pro-Equity Advisory Team (PEAT).
This team of employees, comprised of multiracial, multigenerational and diverse employees with diverse experiences, developed a strategy that includes pro-equity guidelines and training to help employees ensure decisions impacting our external customers and communities are anchored in equity.
Additionally, in 2022, we established a new team focused on equity and environmental justice to operationalize the PEAT’s Equity framework, recommendations and training.
