Sustainability

As part of our energy transition action plan, we’re making investments in three key capabilities: decarbonization, diversification and digitalization, or the “3Ds.”

Sempra is working to advance a just energy transition by building and investing in energy infrastructure to help electrify and decarbonize the markets we serve. We are investing in critical infrastructure, such as electric transmission and distribution networks and utility-scale battery storage and engaging in studies on the feasibility of hydrogen delivery systems to help bring cleaner sources of energy onto the grid. This is essential to powering new solutions to society’s climate challenges and shaping our future for a better quality of life for our communities.

Decarbonization
Reducing the carbon content of energy is central to decarbonizing the industrial, transportation and power generation sectors. Over time, the electrons and molecules we deliver to customers will become less carbon intensive.

Diversification
Bringing new lower- to zero-carbon fuel choices to every market is a central part of the global solution, coupled with expansion of distributed networks and storage to improve resiliency.

Digitalization
Improving operational efficiency, safety and service will turn on the integration of real-time information and cutting-edge analytics, benefiting network operators and consumers.

Sempra’s capital investments help support the development of resilient energy networks designed to withstand extreme weather and its consequences, such as wildfires and drought, while delivering reliable, affordable and increasingly lower carbon energy to customers. Specific efforts at our businesses include prudent management of our energy infrastructure to preserve resiliency and public safety, investing in enhanced planning and preparation efforts for seasonal weather impacts, fire science and climate adaptation; planning for infrastructure to deliver lower and/or zero-carbon fuels to help ensure reliability and affordability; and developing emergency response action plans.

Anchored by our value to do the right thing, safety remains foundational to all we do. Employees, contractors and suppliers are empowered to act in the interest of personal, public and infrastructure safety through training and awareness-building around the importance of reporting near misses and sharing lessons learned. Each year we aim to achieve zero employee and contractor fatalities, improve employee and contractor OSHA recordable injury rates and lost work-time incident rates, participate in emergency processes in 100% of the communities we serve and train 100% of critical employees in emergency management and response.

The strength of our high-performance culture is key as we work to achieve our mission to be North America’s premier energy infrastructure company. Sempra is consistently recognized as a leader in sustainable business practices and for our longstanding commitment to building a culture focused on safety, workforce development and training, and diversity and inclusion. We are committed to championing our employees, partners and the communities in which we live and operate.
