PG&E
What we love about PG&E
As Robert F. Kennedy said at our inaugural event, "PG&E is the best utility in the United States". And we couldn't agree more. PG&E recognizes the tremendous impact that a utility company has and asks the question "how can we become carbon neutral?" and follows that up with direct action. They are committed to raising the bar when it comes to energy innovation, as evidenced by bringing the notable William McDonough on retainer to explore future development, delivering some of the nation's cleanest electric power, to investing in renewables, this commitment to be the greenest utility in the country is evident. We are personally impressed with their unconventional, outside the box programs such as converting methane into clean energy and advocating for regulation of greenhouse gases through partnerships. PG&E is taking the lead in their arena by supporting their customers through one of the country's most successful energy-efficiency programs—and many other innovative environmental initiatives like ClimateSmart™, a first-of-its-kind voluntary offset program. And most importantly, their integrity meter is high. They are committed to sharing information about their actions, taking responsibility for their historic environmental impacts, and operating in a way that is consistent with their environmental justice principles. For this, we can honestly say that we are serious fans.

Home Depot
What we love about The Home Depot Foundation
The Home Depot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2002 to further the community building goals of The Home Depot by providing additional resources to assist nonprofit organizations. Since its formation, The Home Depot Foundation has granted $70 million to nonprofit organizations and supported the development of more than 50,000 affordable, healthy homes. Not only are they committed to providing homes for those who most need them, The Home Depot Foundation takes a whole community approach by investing in the planting and restoration of trees along streets, in parks and in schoolyards; the building and refurbishment of community play spaces; and the revitalization of school facilities. And as if that’s not enough, in 2007, The Home Depot Foundation committed to investing $400 million in grants over the next 10 years, which will result in the development of 100,000 affordable, healthy homes for working families and the planting and preservation of more than three million community trees in urban areas. Now that is something to love!
