Social Impact
CenterPoint Energy actively engages our stakeholders – including customers, communities, employees and suppliers – to build trust, strengthen relationships and make a positive impact across our footprint.
We are focused on making a difference for the people in the communities we serve, whether maintaining safety practices, serving as a catalyst in helping create thriving communities, developing our current and future workforce, or keeping our employees safe.
We are committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) to support our colleagues, customers, contractors, suppliers and community members, regardless of race, gender, color, sexual orientation, age, religion, or physical or mental disability, so they have an equal opportunity to thrive. We believe that DE&I are critical components of our long-term business strategy, serving as cornerstones of our service, performance and growth.
Our successful performance is a testament to our employees, who validate our values of Safety, Integrity, Accountability, Initiative and Respect through their actions and commitments.
