Our Communities
We believe that supporting our communities beyond meeting their energy needs is simply the right thing to do. Our community investments are designed to make long-lasting, positive impacts on the communities where we operate and live. We want both our actions and economic contributions to make a difference, starting with employing local people to do local work. Our employees care about the communities and environment in which they work and that passion shows in how they approach and accomplish their work every day. That passion also shows in their volunteerism and support of local initiatives within the communities where they reside.
Our Approach to Community Engagement
Diversified’s community initiatives are predominantly driven by our employees remaining actively engaged in their communities and aware of opportunities to support our neighbors. We recognize that financial donations alone are not enough to build strong relationships and create meaningful impact; therefore, Diversified has continued to expand our community engagement efforts throughout the year with an eye on enhancing active engagement when our communities are in need and to participate in community-building events or actions.
