Corporate Responsibility Report

Environmental, Social and Governance Report

Tri-State compiles a report to highlight the advances we've made in areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. This commitment matters more than ever before, to our employees and members, to the communities we serve together, and to the many stakeholders who are counting on us to deliver on our clean energy transition reliably, affordably and responsibly.

As a member-driven not-for-profit cooperative, Tri-State is led by our members to meet their power needs and provide the services they value. Expectations for how electricity is generated are changing with economics and our climate. Tri-State’s Environmental, Social and Governance Report outlines our practices in these areas.

Paving the Way for a Clean Energy Transition

The demands on our industry create space to share and do more when it comes to environmental stewardship, community support and accountability through member governance.
