Black History Month

At NiSource, we proudly recognize and honor the dynamic contributions and enduring legacy of Black Americans. We strive to cultivate a workplace of mutual respect and connection while committing to the social and economic engagement of our customers, employees and the communities we serve. 

NiSource LEAD: Championing Employee Growth and Connections  

Our commitment to a work environment for all is demonstrated through our employee resource groups (ERG), such as LEAD (Leadership & Education for African American Development), which is dedicated to advancing opportunities for Black and African American employees and allies. LEAD plays a vital role in our organization.

LEAD operates through a dedicated network of professionals, engaging in a range of internal and external activities aimed at inspiring employees. These efforts are designed to help everyone achieve their fullest potential across professional development and employment opportunities at NiSource. Together, we create a culture where every individual has an equal opportunity to contribute to our shared growth and success. 

Our Responsibility to Our Customers and Communities 

It is our responsibility to be a caring and trusted partner who engages our customers and communities to achieve meaningful and equitable outcomes. By aligning our daily actions with our core values, we ensure that NiSource remains a trusted leader in our industry, whose mission is rooted in the respect, dignity and care of all those we serve.
