To add value for shareholders and also earn the public trust, Dominion emphasizes personal integrity and accountability in the conduct of our affairs. We rely on a combination of individual responsibility, team effort, superior customer service and operational excellence to achieve our business purposes.
We recognize that sound corporate governance requires knowledge, experience, respect for diversity and high standards of ethical behavior. These are the cornerstones of the Dominion way. They are the core beliefs that underlie the crucial link between individual performance and long-term corporate success.
The following company policies serve as guiding principles that reinforce our corporate values and core beliefs.
The Dominion Code of Ethics promotes lawful and ethical behavior by all employees, officers and members of the Board of Directors.
It also ensures that we conduct our business according to our values and all applicable rules, regulations and laws.
The Code of Ethics covers topics such as employee relations, commitment to safety, community relations, and corporate opportunities. Full compliance with regulatory requirements is a must.
Dominion recognizes that environmental quality is inherently long term. Sound environmental stewardship demands more than instinct and expediency. It must have the commitment of consistent, corporate emphasis. It must have the conviction of people and organizations who know the importance of environmental stewardship for our world today, and tomorrow.
Dominion is focused on meeting our customers' energy needs in an environmentally responsible manner. We know that today's operations affect tomorrow's environment. As the major energy supplier in uniquely beautiful, natural regions, we have always worked to protect and enhance the economic and environmental quality of life for our customers and our employees.
We are committed — and will remain committed — to full compliance with all laws and regulations of local, state and federal governments that affect our operations. We will also continue to cooperate closely with the agencies that regulate our business. Dominion will even go beyond legal requirements when such action is supported by sound science and informed policy-making that makes economic sense and encourages long-term solutions.
Dominion will continue to use its dedicated workforce and a spirit of innovation to not only remain environmentally responsible in changing times, but to aggressively seek new ways to provide its customers the services they need with even less impact on the environment that surrounds us all.
The company is fully committed to meeting its customers’ energy needs in a manner consistent with a clean environment. We believe it is both good business practice and our duty to protect the natural and cultural resources of the communities we serve. In keeping with this belief, it is our policy to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible manner that protects the public, our employees, and the earth that we all share.
In addition to complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, we commit to:
