Our impact in action
Our responsibility extends beyond energy delivery, including making a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work. Through philanthropy, volunteerism and educational partnerships, we invest in people and places to help them thrive. From scholarship programs to hands-on service, our impact reflects the values that guide our business.
Philanthropy
We are committed to giving back in ways that aim to create lasting value. Our philanthropic efforts focus on strengthening communities and responding to critical needs. Through both corporate giving and employee engagement, we build relationships with local organizations across our footprint that align with our purpose.

Investing in future leaders
We proudly support the next generation through our annual Scholarship Program, open to graduating seniors from high schools located along our pipeline right-of-way. By helping students pursue higher education or skilled trade programs, we are supporting the long-term success of the communities we serve and the people who power their future.
Volunteerism
Service is an important part of our culture. Our employees actively give their time and talents to strengthen the communities where they live and work. We support engagement through volunteer programs, regional service projects and our annual Week of Caring.
