Our Culture

For just a few dollars a day, electricity keeps air conditioners humming and businesses running, while natural gas warms homes and workplaces. It’s no surprise our employees take tremendous pride in serving millions of customers throughout Michigan.

This commitment to
providing affordable and reliable energy is the foundation of our company’s culture. It’s a culture that values safety, integrity, diversity, cooperation and stewardship. These tenets help employees conduct business in an ethical manner and instill the importance of corporate citizenship.

Conducting business ethically and complying with all laws, rules and regulations is central to everything we do. We continue to infuse a strong ethical culture into our company and community. We also recognize that a diversity of people and ideas helps us succeed in serving our customers.

Safety for employees and customers is critical. We strive each and every day to ensure we don’t have a single accident or injury. This philosophy extends to our customers as well – delivering energy safely to homes and businesses is our top priority.

As one of Michigan’s largest private landowners, we know that caring for the state’s water, wetlands and wildlife is a serious responsibility. This awareness and commitment is woven into all of the company’s business practices. We’re shouldering our share of the responsibility for protecting the natural resources that make Michigan a great place to live and work.

President and Chief Executive Officer
