Avista Releases 2013 Shared Value Report
"Our stakeholders are increasingly more aware of the complexity of our utility business. This report provides greater transparency into all aspects of our operations, environmental stewardship and community partnerships, which are the topics they are most interested in," said
Shared value highlights from the 2013 report include:
- Focused emphasis on building relationships with organizations serving veterans to help their transition from military experience to civilian careers, including energy-industry jobs;
- The economic impact of the Palouse Wind project that is enhancing the local economy while adding renewable power to Avista's diversified generating portfolio;
- Integrating CNG-fueled vehicles into our fleet for cost-effective transportation with an environmentally responsible fuel; and
- Bringing energy fairs to convenient locations in our communities to connect directly with customers about ways to manage energy use and costs, while bringing together community resources to help those who may need additional information about weatherization, jobs or other social services.
In keeping with the company's sustainable business practices, the report is published online at avistautilities.com, key word: Shared Value.
