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 21^st 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 Approach.
• We use the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, established by the Global Reporting Initiative, to help us measure our economic, environmental, and social performance.
• Duke Energy’s leadership in sustainable business practices was recognized for a second year in a row through placement on the prestigious 2011 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World). The company was also named to the DJSI for North American companies in the electric utility sector for the sixth consecutive year.
