Feedback from our stakeholders helps to inform our business plans and strategies.
Stakeholder Engagement
Our major stakeholders include individuals and groups who impact – or are impacted by – our company and business operations. They include customers, communities, employees, investors, suppliers and regulators, among other stakeholders. We believe that good governance practices include maintaining a consistent and transparent dialogue throughout the year with our stakeholders.
Each year, we engage in shareholder outreach through various engagement channels including direct meetings, analyst conferences and road shows, among others, and proactively solicit feedback. We also regularly reach out to the proxy governance teams of certain of our large institutional investors to solicit feedback on a range of topics. This feedback is shared with the Board.
Through CenterPoint Energy’s stakeholder engagement process, we define our key Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) material topics for ESG disclosures.
