NiSource proudly joins today’s Earth Day global celebration. What began in 1970 to advocate for the Clean Air Act in the United States, has become an annual observance in over 140 countries to advocate for a sustainable future. As part of our commitment to promoting sustainability, NiSource and our employees work with a variety of groups who share that same passion.
At NiSource, our commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of our day-to-day operations. NiSource and our subsidiaries are actively pursuing proven technologies to help fulfill that pledge. We encourage engagement with all stakeholders to develop a balanced transition model that creates an affordable, safe, reliable, and sustainable energy supply that will best serve our communities - now and in the future.
This commitment is also a part of our workplace culture, where every day our employees are engaged in volunteer opportunities focused on protecting and enhancing the environment – from tree planting events, community clean-up efforts, and land restoration projects. Many of these team building projects are led by the NiSource Environmental Action Team (NEAT), an employee-based organization.
In 2023, NiSource employees performed more than 400 hours of volunteer work throughout the community, with many focused on environmental projects. And the NiSource Charitable Foundation gave more than $400,000 to nearly 50 non-profit organizations focused on environmental stewardship issues and projects.
This Earth Day, NiSource encourages everyone to do something to support the environment and ensure a sustainable future for all. For more information on our sustainability efforts, please visit NiSource.com/Sustainability.
