How One Utility Company is Using Training as a Tool to Support ESG Priorities
The utility industry has become essential to worldwide decarbonization efforts. Hence, there has been an increasingly sharp focus on environmental responsibility and broader environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) measures in this sector.
PNM Resources serves as a powerful example.
Parent company to PNM and TNMP, PNM Resources serves electricity to approximately 800,000 homes and businesses in New Mexico and Texas. From an ESG perspective, the organization has committed to achieving 100% emissions-free energy by 2040.
To accomplish this goal, PNM Resources is relying on one of its core values — ensuring everyone goes home safe — to ensure the well-being of its employees in every work environment. Healthy workers are productive workers who will be well-equipped to reach the organization’s goals.
Simultaneously, PNM Resources is working to create the workforce of the future — dedicating time and effort to ensure its team is skilled and knowledgeable in renewable energy resources and technology.
