Transforming our planet’s energy infrastructure requires innovative thinking and focused, prudent action. The way to get there is Via Renewables.
ESG REPORTFacilitate the Future
For over 20 years, our core retail energy business—which remains fiscally strong, predictable and essential to modern life—has offered green energy options to hundreds of thousands of consumers across America.

Step Up and Give Back
As our organization continues to evolve, we launched a service initiative in June 2021 to encourage further employee involvement in the community. Each Via Renewables team member is now awarded paid time off every month to participate in a community service project of their choice. In addition, Via Renewables will match employee contributions up to $250 dollars per year to a charity of their choice.
This is in addition to our support at the corporate level of numerous charities, including food banks, parks and wildlife organizations, The Boys & Girls Club and most recently, the Arbor Day Foundation.
Starting in 2021, Via Renewables will completely offset our customers’ and employees’ energy use by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) on their behalf.
