Purpose & Values

At Avangrid, we’re pioneering a cleaner, brighter energy future that always begins with understanding and improving the lives of the people we serve. With decades of experience in energy innovation and service, we’re creating stronger, safer electric and natural gas systems that are not only improving our energy future but also the lives of the 3.3 million customers in New York and New England that depend on them.  

 

Our Purpose


 

Solving problems sustainably. 

We provide lasting value to our customers and shareholders. By committing to industry-leading sustainability goals, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we’re promoting affordable, clean energy strategies to safeguard our environment, advance our society, and strengthen our company’s financial health. 

Reducing emissions ambitiously. 

Avangrid is committed to reaching carbon neutrality for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 and is one of the country’s cleanest utilities with an emissions intensity over six times lower than the U.S. power sector average. Our footprint spans across 24 states, and through our renewables business, we are one of the nation's largest producers of wind and solar energy, producing 9.3 GW of emissions-free installed capacity. 

Improving lives positively. 

At Avangrid, we’re driven problem-solvers dedicated to creating the energy solutions we all need to thrive. The kind that are a win for our environment—protecting precious natural resources. The kind that are a win for our communities—creating new job opportunities. And the kind that are a win for our customers—providing safe, reliable, and affordable access to energy. 

Growing returns ethically. 

We’re committed to upholding industry-leading sustainability standards and principles in everything we do to achieve strong financial results. We have been awarded Compliance Leader Verification certification by the Ethisphere Institute for the third consecutive term–a certification that is exclusive to companies that maintain best-in-industry corporate compliance programs, granted only after an extensive assessment process.
