ATLANTA (September 22, 2022) – Gas South, one of the leading natural gas marketers in the Southeast, celebrates a significant honor for the company, winning the 2022 Energy Marketing Conferences’ Leadership and Integrity Award. Gas South was one of 13 nominees for the prestigious honor, which recognizes utility companies with an outstanding track record of giving back to the community.
Gas South and its employees have conducted over 15 community events thus far in 2022, including handing out car seats to families at an early childhood education center, donating and distributing baby items to mothers in need, assisting physically disabled and neurodiverse children with equine therapy, appearing as court-appointed special advocates for young adults, cleaning up a local river, hosting after-school activities for underserved youth and assembling over 700 packs of underwear for children in Title 1 schools.
“Giving back is as core to our company as natural gas, which is why we have such a strong focus on our mission to Be A Fuel For Good,” said Kevin Greiner, president and CEO of Gas South. “Our team proudly accepts this honor, as strong leadership in the community requires a joint effort across the board, from our HR team to each and every volunteer that turns our passion for service into reality.”
Founded in 2013, the mission of Energy Marketing Conferences is to help the competitive energy industry grow by advocating for consumer choice in North America and changing the narrative about retail energy.
"The Leadership and Integrity Award is one of the greatest distinctions we can bestow, and the nominees this year were all companies who have made giving back paramount to their purpose," said Jack Doueck, founder of Advanced Energy Capital, LED Plus, and Energy Marketing Conferences. "What the team at Gas South has done to enrich the communities they serve reached a level that was undeniable, so we salute them for this recognition and the underlying work supporting it.”
Since its inception in 2006, Gas South has given more than $9 million in direct support back to the community. Additionally, the company is committed to advancing sustainable energy sources and has pledged $50 million to support solar project investments.
