Sustainability
The center of our business
We're helping to advance the global energy transition through electrification and decarbonization in the markets we serve, including California, Texas, Mexico and the LNG export market. We're investing in critical infrastructure, such as new electric transmission and distribution networks, utility-scale battery storage and green hydrogen delivery systems, to help bring cleaner sources of energy onto the grid. This is essential to powering new solutions to society’s climate challenges, as well as building a healthy economy and better quality of life for our communities.

Enabling the energy transition
As part of our energy transition action plan, we're making investments in three key capabilities: decarbonization, diversification and digitalization, or the "3Ds." This includes investments in new and existing infrastructure to help enable the increased use of clean fuels such as hydrogen. We're also working to build infrastructure that is reliable and resilient to withstand the effects of a changing climate, including from wildfires, sea level rise and increasing temperatures.
Decarbonization
Reducing the carbon content of energy is central to decarbonizing the industrial, transportation and power generation sectors. Over time, the electrons and molecules we deliver to customers will become less carbon intensive.
Diversification
Bringing new lower- to zero-carbon fuel choices to every market is a central part of the global solution, coupled with expansion of distributed networks and storage to improve resiliency.
Digitalization
Improving operational efficiency, safety and service will turn on the integration of real-time information and cutting-edge analytics, benefiting network operators and consumers.save
Driving resilient operations
Around the world, energy needs are changing. We’re focusing on the electrification of consumer markets, the expansion and modernization of energy networks and the global shift to cleaner power. We work closely with our partners, communities and governments to help ensure we’re building toward a future where access to cleaner, more reliable and affordable energy is an everyday reality for everyone.
Our resilience is the result of what we focus on every day: pursuing our mission and living our values; making safety a priority for every employee; investing in our workforce and our communities; and ensuring we deliver long-term, sustainable value to all our stakeholders.
Achieving world-class safety
Safety is our top priority. Through our safety-focused culture, employee recordable and lost time incident rates continue to trend down. Field employees at our operating companies are trained to "stop the job" in any situation that potentially impacts the safety of a worker, the public, our equipment and systems, or the environment. We continue to work to identify areas where we can enhance a safe working environment for employees and contractors.
Championing people
Our mission is to be North America’s premier energy infrastructure company, an endeavor which would not be possible without our people. We believe we’re a stronger company when every employee feels empowered to bring their whole, authentic self to work, and we’re continuously evaluating how we can foster a true sense of belonging for everyone. This commitment extends to the communities we serve.
Sustainability at our operating companies
The Sempra family of companies’ more than 20,000 talented employees deliver energy with purpose to more than 40 million consumers every day. We're helping lead the global energy transition by advancing the electrification of energy networks and promoting energy diversification, resiliency, affordability and access for all. We're committed to delivering lower-carbon energy solutions in the markets we serve across California, Texas and Mexico.
