A commitment to lasting, positive social impact.
As Avangrid grows, so does our responsibility to create positive social impacts.
We’re doing this by implementing a social impact strategy focused on the needs of our employees, the communities where we operate, our customers and our supplier partners.
We seek to make a positive social impact through the philanthropic giving of the Avangrid Foundation, corporate donations, employee giving, and volunteerism. We also seek to better understand the needs of our communities – and how we can help – through stakeholder engagement.
Avangrid has teams dedicated to building relationships with the communities where our power and networks businesses are located during all stages of our operations. In our networks business, for example, the Public Outreach team demonstrates what it means to listen to the community's needs. This team uses a variety of tools to proactively inform customers and community members about potential project impacts while also providing easy-to-access resources to contact us with any questions or concerns. This “Design with the Community in Mind” approach is based on the transformative perspective shift where our decision-making is guided through the lens of our customers.
