Columbia Gas of Ohio, a NiSource company, was honored as an Outstanding Corporate Partner at this year’s WildNite for Wildlife Gala on Thursday, May 21, 2015
Columbia Gas is the largest natural gas utility in the state, and one of NiSource’s seven energy distribution companies. NiSource companies deliver energy to approximately $3.8 million customers in the Midwest, New England and Gulf Coast states. They are committed to delivering sustainable economic growth, and limiting the environmental impact of all new infrastructure investments. As an example, Columbia Gas built a new Leed-certified building in downtown Columbus and moved its staff into this state-of-the-art facility last December.
More importantly, NiSource cares about wildlife. The company has developed an innovative Habitat Conservation Plan, lauded by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as a new model for endangered species conservation and corporate wildlife stewardship.
