What Does it Mean to Be A Fuel For Good ?

We're making a positive impact in our communities by putting people first. Every year, we give back 5% of our profits to support children in need and since 2006, we've donated more than $12M.

Gas South knows the communities we serve are strongest when their children are well and have opportunities to reach their full potential. With the 5% of profits we’ve committed to give each year, we’re helping families build strong foundations by supporting some of their basic needs and providing positive pathways.

As our company continues to grow, so does our commitment to give. In 2022, we were able to give more than $3.2 million to help support children in need, which is more than double what we gave the year before. We’ve also stayed on track with our effort to build a more sustainable planet, committing to invest $60 million to support solar projects by the end of 2023. All of that’s part of what it means to Be A Fuel For Good.

As a purpose-driven company, we have a solid foundation for community and employee engagement. We also know that we need to do more.
