Renewables In Your Community
Trust and Respect
Avangrid works hard to earn the trust and respect of the communities where we do business and by behaving in a transparent and forthright manner. We believe in developing and maintaining strong relationships with landowners and our local communities.
We work hard to meet or exceed local permitting, wildlife, and other standards through public meetings and events, official filings, and other activities.
Community Sponsorship
The company may periodically also make selective donations of money, goods, or company-sanctioned employee volunteer hours in support of our local communities and their activities.
The parameters for where and how such donations are made is detailed in the Community Sponsorship Guidelines. This policy covers: sponsorship types and their availability; the expectation that an internal advocate will act on the applicant's behalf; how the application and decision-making process works; and corporate reporting and publicity expectations.
These guidelines also require each applicant organization to complete a Community Sponsorship Application form.
