Sustainable financing

Integrating sustainability

We are focused on investing in, developing and operating transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure in the most attractive markets in North America. Our mission is to be North America’s premier energy infrastructure company, which, in our view, requires full integration of sustainable development and climate considerations into our business strategy, operations and long-term investments. Being a leader in the energy transition to support net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by mid-century is a natural extension of our North America-focused T&D platform.

Sempra’s Sustainable Financing Framework outlines the path to investing in three key capabilities to work toward our aim of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050: decarbonization, diversification and digitalization. By aligning our capital-intensive activities with our sustainability goals, we believe it will help drive our environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives to support long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders and other stakeholders.
