Environmental protection is a responsibility we embrace at Commonwealth Energy. We are committed to integrating new standards and expectations for protecting the environment across our entire business -- and to continually improve our environmental performance. We work actively and co-operatively with our neighbours, governments, customers and other stakeholder groups to seek and achieve solutions to environmental concerns.
The way we see it, the stronger that Commonwealth Energy's environmental performance is, the more successful the company will be. Emphasis is placed on environmental performance by regulators, the public, and the investment community. That means there is an inherent value for our company in doing it right and being seen as doing it right.
Environmental programs are now viewed as more than just the cost of doing business. They've become integral parts of the long-term business strategy and they're helping CE build shareholder value, pursue growth opportunities and reduce costs.
"It all contributes to a strong reputation," notes CEO Matti Jansson, "and that helps us in the marketplace. To a lot of people, we're seen as a very credible energy company with a good environmental track record, and that never hurts when you're trying to differentiate yourself from the competition."
Commonwealth Energy Electric's service is regulated by the Commonwealth Energy Board, both in the rates we charge and the level of service we provide.
