Sustainability
Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to produce and deliver energy to our customers that’s reliable, affordable and increasingly clean. That’s where sustainability comes in. It’s more than a word at Duke Energy – it’s the key to our success in the 21st century.
The decisions we make today that affect our “triple bottom line” of people, the planet and profits will determine our long-term prospects as a company. We see promising signs in our performance, but there remains a lot of work to do.
- For a closer look at our progress on the road to becoming a more sustainable company, please review our comprehensive annual Sustainability Report.
- If you want a snapshot of our efforts, please see our Sustainability Plan and Progress at a Glance.
- We use the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, established by the Global Reporting Initiative, to help us measure our economic, environmental, and social performance.
- Duke Energy also earned inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North American companies in the electric utility sector in each of the last four years.
