Using Less Means More
Large business and industrial customers look to Vistra Retail brands for innovative solutions to help them use less and save more. That’s why, since 2011, the company has invested nearly $26 million in Greenback Rebates – rebate dollars that help businesses in Texas and the Midwest fund equipment upgrades and projects to increase energy efficiency. From HVAC equipment replacement to electric vehicle charging stations and onsite solar generation, these projects help customers achieve their sustainability goals – and save money.
Lighting Up Lives
Vistra’s hardworking team is committed to its purpose, “lighting up lives, powering a better way forward”, and believes in investing in the communities where its employees and customers live and work. Through meaningful investments, Vistra is addressing needs and strengthening communities.
The company focuses its community giving in five key areas:
- Community welfare: programs supporting critical community needs
- Economic development: programs that help grow state and local economies
- Education: K-12 programs, especially those building skills in science, technology, engineering and math
- Employee involvement: worksite groups are empowered to identify needs in their specific communities that meet guidelines and then donate volunteer time or cash grants
- Environment/sustainability: groups working to build a cleaner, sustainable, and healthier environment
