ESG: Social

We are committed to being a safe and reliable neighbor and we put safety first in all we do. From storm and natural gas safety to safety around power lines, we are dedicated to helping our customers be prepared for any type of emergency situation.

We continue to pursue a strategy that integrates diversity and inclusion into everything we do. Strengthening a culture of inclusion requires every one of our employees to understand their part in making each other feel welcomed, respected, heard and valued.

With over $30 million in charitable grants each year, the Foundation is committed to making strategic investments to build powerful communities where nature and wildlife thrive, students can excel, and a talented workforce drives economic prosperity for all.

As a provider of an essential service, we remain committed to delivering reliable power as well as protecting the health and safety of our customers and employees.

Duke Energy respects international human rights principles, including those identified in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

We remain committed to helping customers in need and connecting them to territory-specific programs that provide heating and cooling bill assistance, fans for senior citizens and more. 

Volunteerism is an integral part of our commitment to the places in which  we live and serve. Our employees and retirees build relationships and hone their leadership skills by volunteering in their local communities.

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 sustainability and it’s the key to our success in the 21st century.
