“At Direct Energy, we strongly believe that being active in the communities in which we live and work is our responsibility as good corporate citizens. And while many companies have long contributed to the not-for-profit sector, there is a need to be less ad hoc and much more strategic. As with any strategic business decision, organizations are accountable to track and measure results to demonstrate and communicate the value of their philanthropic investment to stakeholders.”

direct in the community

direct in the community is a Direct Energy program that contributes to the well-being of our communities, and encourages our employees to get involved. We want to be active participants in the community – to positively impact the social and economic outlook of the areas our employees, their families and our customers call home.

That includes creating ways for our employees to volunteer their time in the community. And it means making it easy for them to donate money to local charities through our annual employee pledge drive and other fundraising activities.
