Protecting employees while responding to COVID-19
About
As COVID-19 expands from a national crisis to a global pandemic, we are focused on our purpose—bringing the power of energy to people and organizations—while ensuring the safety of all our stakeholders. We believe it is essential that we continue to communicate with our customers, communities, and colleagues the important steps we are taking and the resources we are providing to ensure that the power remains on and safety and well-being remains central to our decision-making. This includes implementing work-from-home initiatives, promoting and disseminating the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines, and keeping phones and live chat open to best serve our communities’ interests. Our recent blog, “Responding to COVID-19” provides insight into the steps NRG is taking and the resources available—both from NRG and other organizations—to keep our stakeholders informed and safe.

About
On March 5, 2020, GreenBiz published an article that discussed Mauricio Gutierrez’s—NRG Energy, Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer and President—focus on sustainability during NRG’s Feb 27 Earnings Call. The article noted that sustainability was “front and center” during the Earnings call.
The first in its sector to adopt science-based GHG emissions reduction goals, NRG has long been dedicated to making sustainability the center of its business and the crux of the company’s future success. While many companies have succumbed to the pressure of the market, and have adopted climate commitments, NRG continues to be at the forefront of its sector as it makes sustainability not simply a goal, but the framework on which it builds its business. As Gutierrez expressed on the call, “Our comprehensive sustainability framework […] is one that expands across our business from operations and employees to customers and suppliers. Sustainability is embedded in our culture, aligned with our strategy and necessary for our long-term success.”
