The Duke Energy name has historically stood for integrity and fair play. That perception has been challenged. We’ve worked hard and long to build our good name, and we intend to preserve it. Ethical conduct is, and always has been, a defining aspect of our company, and a key competitive advantage.
Earning the public trust is no easy task. It starts by making sure our house is in order.
We’ve taken a critical look at what we do, and how we do it. Our values – integrity, stewardship, inclusion, initiative, teamwork and accountability – are more than ideals posted on a wall. They’re the way we do business, from the board room to the break room. We weave them into our corporate policies and procedures, into our very culture. They underlie contracts written for mutual benefit, as well as legal obligation. And they are key factors in the way we recruit, select and train employees, and guide their performance.
Over the past year, we have reinforced with employees Duke Energy’s business values, emphasizing their relevance to every task and decision. We’ve also updated our Code of Business Ethics, to clarify how the values apply in specific situations. We’re not perfect – but we take prompt and decisive action if we find that our Code of Business Ethics has been violated.
