In the Environment
We’re committed to doing what’s right—supporting our communities, preserving natural resources and helping shape a better tomorrow.
Our approach
Our sustainable business strategy helps us stay resilient in a changing world. Infrastructure resiliency can help us respond to emerging threats, such as increasingly extreme weather patterns. Avoiding impacts to nature and minimizing waste can help secure the supply of natural resources we all rely on. Advancing new energy technologies can help improve efficiency and manage the country’s need for more power.
