But electrical provider Hydro Ottawa’s Brighter Tomorrows Community Investment Program is shining a bit more light on regional goodwill and its customers.
Four components make up Hydro Ottawa’s program, which was introduced in 2012. Financial assistance for low-income residents; an investment fund supporting agencies that aid homeless and at-risk homeless people; employee volunteer day; and funding youth initiatives helps Hydro Ottawa judge its success or failure as a company.
“We are utterly convinced that good corporate citizenship enhances business performance,” wrote nominator Jennifer Dawe, a talent management specialist with the company. It “influences business decisions.”
For its community outreach, Hydro Ottawa is the silver 2015 Optimas Award winner for Corporate Citizenship.
