Sempra Energy : Shaping a Net-Zero Future on Earth Day

Across our family of companies, we are creating resiliency, expanding energy choice and modernizing energy systems to advance a net-zero future. This includes advancing lower-carbon energy options in every market we serve - from California and Texas to Mexico and LNG export markets.

Both our California utilities, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), have committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and delivery of energy by 2045.

Meanwhile in Texas, Oncor is enabling the delivery of increasing supplies of wind and solar energy across its service area. Sempra LNG is dispatching liquefied natural gas to global markets to deliver cleaner, more reliable and more affordable energy, while displacing fuel oil and coal in power production.

In Mexico, IEnova remains one of the top renewable generators in the country and is diversifying Mexico's energy options to help improve resiliency.

Sempra Employees Give Back to their Communities

This Earth Month, our 19,000 employees are fulfilling our vision of delivering energy with purpose by giving back with a special focus on sustainability initiatives in the communities we serve.

SDG&E employees are masked, socially distanced and giving back to their communities this month by cleaning up local beaches and neighborhoods across San Diego County. SDG&E employees will also be partnering with ProduceGood to source and harvest surplus food to reduce hunger and food insecurity across the county. Volunteers will harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste from family-owned orchards and will distribute to food pantries across San Diego.

Also, the City of Encinitas and SDG&E are giving away 100 trees to Encinitas residents on a first-come, first-served basis in order to promote biodiversity in that community. Meanwhile, SoCalGas employees will be planting trees across the San Fernando Valley and Ventura.

Sempra LNG employees are also getting involved. In Texas, employees will be picking up trash on the beaches of Sabine Pass, the site of our proposed Port Arthur LNG facility, as well as across Houston in an effort to reduce the amount of litter that flows into city bayous. In San Diego, Sempra LNG employees will be participating in the city's 'Creek to Bay' cleanup, the largest environmental cleanup in San Diego County.

Sempra Energy Family of Companies Advance Sustainability Initiatives

Last year, the Sempra Energy family of companies gave over $5 million to environmental-related causes. This included focus areas like natural resource protection, conservation, environmental education, clean air and water, waste reduction, and recycling.

As the owner of one of North America's largest energy networks, we understand we have a leading role to play in decarbonizing every market we serve. Whether it's building energy systems that allow our industry to lower its carbon footprint or shaping a cleaner future for the next generation through giving back to the communities we serve, sustainability remains one of our highest priorities.
