SUMMARY:
Avista is pleased to be named to the Target Rock Advisors Sustainability Utility Leaders Index for the second year. Our commitment to the triple bottom line is enhanced by the shared value our activities bring not only to our shareholders and our customers, but to the communities we serve as well. Being recognized as a leader in this index reflects the value of those business strategies.
DESCRIPTION:
Sustainability Achievement Award
The Target Rock Sustainability Achievement Awards are bestowed annually in April to a small group of utilities with exemplary sustainability practices across all three Triple Bottom Line elements (Economic, Environmental, and Social) as determined by Target Rock’s annual sustainability assessment process. The Overall Sustainability Achievement Award is given to a single utility each year, the leader of leaders, the one company with the highest overall sustainability score in the industry. Best in Class Sustainability Achievement Awards are conferred to the top three utilities in each market capitalization category – large cap (>$10 billion), mid cap ($2-10 billion), and small cap (<$2 billion) – at the time of the assessment.
Sustainable Utility Leadership Award
Concurrent with and based on the results of the annual sustainability assessment process the Target Rock Sustainability Utility Leaders Index is re-balanced to include only those utilities with industry-leading sustainability performance. These companies are the industry’s Sustainable Utility Leaders.
