CEO Message

Team,
Let’s talk about strategy. It’s a word we hear often and I know it can sometimes feel removed from our day-to-day work. When, in fact, it’s your hard work every day that is driving our strategy forward. A good strategy starts and ends with a strong team.

These materials will help shape productive conversations about where we are headed as a business, our opportunities as an energy company in a rapidly changing world, how we will continue to grow and – most importantly – your role in making it all happen. While we work in different locations and different parts of Emera, we are connected by our shared commitment to do the right things and to do them well.

Our strategy gives us shared focus: We’re a team of experts leading the way to a cleaner energy future as we work toward our 2050 Net-Zero Vision. Every day, we’re focused on safely delivering cleaner, affordable, reliable energy for our customers. Delivering for our customers drives predictable returns and steady growth for our investors, enabling us to reinvest in our teams, companies and communities.

“It’s your hard work every day that is driving our strategy forward.”

Our strategy not only delivers for our customers, communities and investors today – it also helps us prepare for the energy future that is being shaped by what our customers want and three key trends facing our industry – decarbonization, decentralization and digitalization.

From a single utility in Nova Scotia, we’ve grown into an energy leader serving 2.5 million customers in six countries. As you know, decarbonization is central to our strategy and it has been driving growth and innovation at Emera for over 15 years. We have a great story to tell about our journey and our commitment to a more sustainable future. And we’re continuing our progress by sharing with our customers, communities and investors our clear, achievable goals and our shared vision to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

I am grateful for the work you do every day that delivers for our customers and drives our growth. Let’s stay connected and keep talking as we advance our strategy together.
