Outreach

We promote ecological stewardship through initiatives aimed at raising environmental awareness. Employees across NRG — and across the country — volunteer at community events and work to restore the natural beauty of parks and open spaces in their communities.

At our WA Parish facility in Texas we provided materials and labor (over 30 employees volunteered) to repair a fishing pier in the Brazos Bend State Park.

NRG employees have volunteered to remove trash and debris from shorelines and river banks, participating in several local efforts:

• California (at the El Segundo Beach Cleanup)
• Texas (at the Clear Creek Cleanup)
• New Jersey (at the Delaware & Raritan Canal Cleanup)
• New England (at the Connecticut River Watershed Council's "Source to Sea" cleanup and the Harborview shoreline cleanup)

NRG employees volunteer in a number of tree-planting projects including:

• Employees from our SR Bertron and San Jacinto facilities in Texas joined together to plant 400 live oak and bald cypress trees at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historical Park.
• Volunteers from our TH Wharton facility in Texas participated in an urban tree planting project known as "Trees for Houston."
• At our Limestone plant, we worked with students from Texas A&M to plant trees at a reclamation site.
• Employees from our El Segundo and Long Beach facilities, as well as the NRG West regional office, have supported the City of El Segundo's annual "Trees to the Sea" event since 2005. During this event, trees are planted along the Imperial Highway to provide pollution and noise abatement and beautification of El Segundo's major entryway.
