DETROIT, June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DTE Energy
today released its 2017 Corporate Citizenship Highlights, the
company's annual publication detailing corporate responsibility
efforts in priority areas ranging from the environment to workforce
development and neighborhood revitalization. The Corporate
Citizenship Highlights covers many of the company's key initiatives
impacting communities across Michigan, including:
- Providing more than 650 youth summer jobs through DTE Energy
Foundation support
- Volunteering more than 57,000 hours to 567 nonprofits by 3,500
DTE employees in 2017
- Sparking $120 million in
neighborhood revitalization through the development of Beacon
Park
- Committing to reduce carbon emissions by more than 80 percent
by 2050, prompting numerous peer companies to announce similar
initiatives
This year, the company added a companion website, DTEImpact.com,
to provide real-time reporting on DTE's corporate citizenship
efforts. The website explores the company's numerous initiatives
statewide and shares both performance data and reports.
"Our customers and those who follow DTE have told us that they
appreciate DTE's comprehensive annual corporate citizenship report,
but are also interested in following our efforts as they happen,"
says Nancy Moody, DTE vice president
of Public Affairs. "The website provides the real-time reporting
that our stakeholders have requested while the Highlights
publication is a comprehensive look back at our efforts for the
previous year. Together, these two communication channels provide a
clear view into our commitment, goals and accomplishments."
In addition to DTEImpact.com, the company also launched two
additional websites. DTEFoundation.com is the digital hub for the
DTE Energy Foundation. The site offers an online grant portal,
expanded content for nonprofit and community partners, as well as
applicant information including Foundation priorities, timetables,
and how to apply for grants. DTEBeaconPark.com highlights events at
Detroit's newest public space,
Beacon Park, which was developed by DTE and is programmed
year-round with events ranging from headline concerts to
recreational sports and family fun days.
