About the businesses:

Retail Electricity

ENGIE is one of the largest non-residential retail electricity suppliers in the United States and currently serves commercial, industrial, and institutional customers in 14 markets. Supplying energy to nearly 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies, ENGIE serves over 85,000 accounts, with an estimated peak load totaling nearly 10,000 MW. The company also offers electricity service to residential and small business customers in 12 U.S. markets under the brand Think Energy®.

Energy Services

Through the integrated facility management and commitment to energy performance improvement of customer facilities, ENGIE offers integrated management solutions—including on-site solar, battery and cogeneration design and installation—that enable clients to focus on their business. The company is a recognized leader in the operation and maintenance of infrastructure including airports, office buildings and industrial sites, as well as a wide range of technical infrastructure. In managing energy expenses and usage, ENGIE has identified more than $2.1 billion in savings for multi-site clients over the last three years and, in working with utilities, delivered nearly $15.4 billion in energy savings for consumers in the last 12 years.

Natural Gas & LNG

Operating for nearly 45 years, the Everett LNG Terminal near Boston, Mass., is the No. 1 LNG facility operator in the United States today, and it maintains a proven history of innovation and an exemplary record of safety and reliable operation. The company serves nearly every gas utility and key power producer in New England. ENGIE also operates an LNG fueling station providing to long-haul vehicles an increasingly popular alternative to diesel. LNG emits 20 percent less carbon dioxide than diesel fuel, is less expensive, runs quieter and affords vehicles with more power than diesel.

In the United States and Canada, ENGIE owns and/or operates cogeneration, steam, and chilled water facilities, representing a capacity of approximately 11,300 MW of electricity generation. The North America renewables portfolio consists of wind, solar and biomass/biogas assets, with a capacity of close to 1,000 MW. In Canada, ENGIE is among the Top 5 wind developers, with assets in Ontario, the Maritimes and British Columbia.

Along with providing safe, reliable energy and energy support services across the United States and Canada, ENGIE strives to become an integral part of the communities in which it operates. Our goal is to be the best neighbor, supplier, employer and contributor we can.

Our Role in the Community

In North America, through our corporate giving, employee charitable matching gift program, and volunteerism, we invest in a diverse roster of organizations, with a special focus on community programs in three key areas:

• Children’s Health & Education
• Environmental Awareness & Sustainability
• Energy Assistance

Over the years, we have worked with local educators to provide scholarships, improve facilities and fund classroom courses using arts and culture to stimulate new perspectives on math and science as well as students’ community values. We’ve dug in to enhance nature conservancies and regional waterways and sponsored organized nature expeditions to teach at-risk youth grit and perseverance. We’ve underwritten home heating for thousands of customers in need and donated and installed energy efficient lighting and window fittings at social service facilities.

Our Respect for People & the Planet

The steps we take to insure the safety and security of our operating facilities and offices are of paramount importance. Equally important is managing our operations in the most environmentally sound manner possible. In addition to a substantial fleet of wind, solar, biomass and biogas power generation facilities, we also offer products and services for customers to support their renewable energy production goals and reduce their power consumption and energy cost.

Our Stakeholder Relationships

ENGIE employees are committed to good will, transparency, and accountability in all our practices and to fostering respect with our customers and business associates. We seek to build long-term relationships and fulfill our initiatives in good faith and with a constructive spirit.

Our Workforce

At ENGIE we have created a diverse, rewarding work environment that challenges employees and offers opportunities for training and new professional roles. Our employees are the reason for our success, and we structure a work environment that promotes a healthy balance between life inside and outside the workplace.

GDF SUEZ Energy North America (GSENA) is composed of several business units located throughout North America.

At GDF SUEZ Energy North America (GSENA), health and safety at work and responsible stewardship of the environment are both key contributors to sustainable development and therefore central to our core values. Our mandate is simple, and clear: to limit any harm to people and the environment that might arise from our activities. In fact, we are committed not only to maintaining the natural world around us, but improving it where we can, for the benefit of our customers, our employees and the community as a whole. To achieve our goals, a necessary balance between ecological, economic, and social requirements must be maintained. These continuing efforts are codified in the GDF SUEZ Health and Safety Charter and the GDF SUEZ Environmental Charter.

The GDF SUEZ Health & Safety Charter sets out a framework of requirements for continuous improvement to our performance in this area, beyond the strict application of laws and regulations. This code of conduct is distributed and explained to—and required of—all employees, from the executive level to staff representatives. Each division or company has a supervisor appointed to deal effectively with the application of this charter and its code of conduct.

GSENA, like all GDF SUEZ companies, is determined to contribute to the preservation the planet’s natural heritage and its great eco-systems. The GDF SUEZ Environmental Charter stipulates that every company respect the laws and regulations concerning the environment and public health. Moreover, GDF SUEZ companies strive to go beyond the requirements of laws and regulations whenever technical and economic conditions enable them to do so. In this way, they seek to satisfy the needs of customers, the authorities, and the community. Respect for the environment is taken into account at all levels of company decision-making concerning general policy, projects, investments, actions and administration. As part of the employee training program and in accordance with the individual employee’s role, each employee receives training designed to increase awareness of environmental threats and of the need to implement best practices in each area of activity. Finally, GSENA and its subsidiaries are committed to maintaining open dialogue with the general public, developing advisory and publishing services, and conducting training and awareness-raising activities in a spirit of transparency, partnership, and a willingness to listen.
