Environmental, Social and Governance

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. For more than 130 years, we’ve been powering the independent and pioneering spirit of our region — keeping energy safe, reliable and responsibly generated. We are deeply committed to the success of the communities we serve and strive to bring innovative solutions to our customers and a bright energy future for Oregon.

We are leading the way to cleaner energy for Oregon’s future as we work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity we serve our customers by at least 80% by 2030 ¹ and reach zero greenhouse gas emissions from the power we serve our customers by 2040. We have also set a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our company operations by 2040. We’re working on a detailed plan and roadmap to share in the year ahead. We are committed to transparency and reporting on our performance along the way here.

Sustainability reporting

• Accelerating electrification, allowing us to power more things with non-emitting energy
• Being good stewards of Oregon’s land, water and wildlife
• Supporting our customers, our communities and our employees
• Leading with integrity by setting the bar high at the top level of our organization
• Maintaining a robust board refreshment process to oversee our creation of long-term value and support our clean energy development and environmental, social and governance goals
