On Earth Day and every day, SJI is proud to support our customers and communities as we work to reduce the environmental impact of the energy we deliver.
Together, SJI and its employees are committed to responsible operations, community stewardship, and innovative energy projects, including renewable natural gas, for the benefit of our customers and the communities we serve.
This Earth Day, SJI employees rolled up their sleeves to support our communities through hands-on volunteer efforts. Through the company’s Green Team Employee Resource Group (ERG), which is open to all employees, teams participated in local cleanups, habitat restoration projects, and creative sustainability initiatives like repurposing retired natural gas pipes into planters.
Employees partnered with the Nature Center of Cape May to remove invasive species, plant native vegetation, remove litter along the shoreline, and help restore local ecosystems — demonstrating SJI’s commitment to sustainability and healthier communities.
In addition, employees and the company collectively pledged more than $40,000 to support conservation efforts in New Jersey as part of the company’s Employee Giving Campaign, reflecting SJI’s ongoing commitment to the communities and natural resources in our service territory.
SJI is also empowering customers to take part in building a more sustainable future. Through tools like the Conserve platform, South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas provide practical resources and programs designed to help customers reduce energy use, lower bills, and improve overall affordability.
Simple steps can make a big difference, including:
- Turning off fans and lights when not in use
- Closing shades during the day to keep homes cool
- Unplugging chargers, devices, and appliances when not in use
- Using natural lighting whenever possible
- Considering smart thermostats and energy-efficient technologies
These everyday actions not only reduce energy costs but also help contribute to a more sustainable environment for all.
Our efforts to reduce our environmental impact also support SJI's ability to deliver the safe and accessible gas service that more than 750,000 customers across our service territory depend on. We thank our employees for their commitment to supporting our customers and communities.
