Many #PublicTransit agencies are moving beyond the pilot phase to electrify a bigger percentage of their bus fleets. This will make energy resiliency more important for maintaining operations during grid outages. This new article by Marcus Gilmore of our Clean Mobility Strategy Team explains how a sustainable #microgrid solves the resiliency problem by providing emergency power while working to control #energy costs and carbon emissions every day #FleetElectrification #transportation #ZeroEmission #withENGIE

At ENGIE, we believe that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, deserves to feel respected and valued in the workplace. Today, on National Coming Out Day, let’s reflect and act on how we can best be an ally to our #LGBTQ+ community. National Coming Out Day supports and encourages anyone “coming out” as LGBTQ+ to share their authentic self with the world. Our global internal #Diversity, #Equity & #Inclusion Policy Be.U@ENGIE serves as a constant reminder of our dedication to creating an inclusive workplace for all, with one of our key focus areas supporting our LGBTQ+ employees. ENGIE offers inclusive benefits, our practical guide to Empower Gender Identity in the Workplace, and we are proud to have received a score of 90 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s leading benchmarking tool for corporate policies, practices and benefits related to LGBTQ+ workplace #equality. Our #Pride Employee Resource Group is an inclusive, supportive organization at ENGIE that provides resources, shapes policies and leads outreach to foster and celebrate the LGBTQ+ #community at ENGIE and beyond. Yesterday, our Pride ERG hosted an impactful session on raising LGBTQ allies with guest speaker Chris Tompkins, an LGBTQ-affirming therapist and author of the award-winning book “Raising LGBTQ Allies: A Parent’s Guide to Changing the Messages from the Playground”. Together, we can cultivate inclusive workplaces where every employee feels empowered to be their best, authentic self. Happy National Coming Out Day!

A dozen dedicated #volunteers from our Black ENGIE Employee Network (BEEN) came together to make a significant impact at Kids' Meals, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in #Houston. With enthusiasm, teamwork and a little friendly competition, they packed an impressive 3,500 sack lunches, ensuring that many children in need would have a nutritious meal. Since its inception in 2006, Kids’ Meals has been delivering free, nutritious meals directly to the homes of preschool-aged children who are at risk of food insecurity. The organization serves over 80,000 children annually across 43 Houston-area zip codes. By providing these meals year-round, Kids’ Meals aims to break the cycle of poverty and ensure that no child goes hungry. Thank you to all of our BEEN volunteers for their dedication and commitment to "changing mealtimes and lifetimes" with Kids' Meals! #WithENGIE #CultureAtENGIE #VolunteerImpact #CommunityService #EndHunger #ChildhoodNutrition #FoodInsecurity #NonProfitWork #EmpowermentThroughService #HoustonCommunity #MakingADifference #TeamworkInAction

Over one million kids across the U.S. are now riding to school on cleaner, quieter electric buses. Many more are soon to join them. And school districts at every stage of bus fleet transition are seeking the most efficient ways to purchase, deploy, and manage their electric vehicles and infrastructure. In a new School Transportation News #webinar, ENGIE fleet infrastructure experts Marcus Gilmore and Neal Bartek are bringing the latest school bus electrification data and guidance tailored to K-12 transportation professionals across the country. The webinar will provide national, regional, and equity-focused updates on the current state of bus fleet electrification. It will also explore technical requirements and help prepare business cases for each stage of the electrification journey.
