As a leader in clean and sustainable energy, it’s our responsibility to fight for a just and fair world. Ultimately, change must come from within our communities, which is why we’ve partnered with some of the best local New York organizations that are working hard to solve difficult problems. Together, we’re identifying important environmental justice and social equity issues that we proudly support.

Standing up for what’s right

Learn how we’re working with our partners to fight against environmental and social injustice.

What is climate justice?

Climate justice addresses social issues tied to our changing planet. This acknowledges that the effects of climate change impact people differently based on demographic, racial, geographic and other factors.

What is social equity?

Social equity helps provide access and availability of services to everyone, no matter who they are. This makes our systems fair and just for all. Social equity policies range across education, healthcare, finance and other areas of public policy. In the energy industry, it’s our job to fight for fairness and affordability for everyone.
