Compliance is our minimum standard of performance and we strive to perform beyond compliance in all areas of our business. All our managers and employees are required to uphold regulatory compliance as part of their daily activities and business planning. When non-compliance issues do arise, we take appropriate steps to address those issues and prevent them from happening again.
As an energy supplier and producer, we are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations on the federal, state, county and local levels.
We maintain a goal of zero notices of violation (NOVs) resulting in fines or penalties. Success in meeting this target is reflected in individual employee performance evaluations and compensation.
