At Avista, we strive to be an innovative, community-based, essential energy company committed to compassionately serving our customers with sustainable solutions, while delivering competitive returns. In pursuit of this north star, our mission is to enable vibrant communities through safe, responsible and affordable energy, by putting those we serve at the center of everything we do.

These guiding principles, along with our shared values of trust, innovation and collaboration, serve as the foundation of our corporate responsibility. Whether it is our longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship, the care and support of our people, our dedication to the customers and communities we serve, or our steadfast adherence to principles of ethical governance, we believe that the integration of corporate responsibility into our business builds trust, forges lasting relationships, strengthens morale, reduces risk, delivers enhanced value to our shareholders, and ultimately enables us to more effectively execute our mission and strategies.

At its heart, corporate responsibility at Avista is a commitment to manage the environmental, social and economic effects of our operations safely, responsibly, and affordably, while endeavoring to have a positive, lasting impact on the environment and society in which we operate.

We believe that, through these commitments, we can preserve and enhance our environment, inspire engaged and thriving employees, add value to our customers and communities, and grow the investments of our shareholders. For over 135 years, we recognize that the pursuit of these commitments is not a deterrent, rather they help us achieve our north star.
