GRI INDEX
Our history of community engagement dates back to the 1920s, when one of S&C’s founders, Nicholas Conrad, joined other business leaders to found the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. Over the following decades, S&C built on this tradition of philanthropy by forming strong relationships with a variety of community organizations that operate where we live and work. Through our Annual Giving Campaign, individual team member-led initiatives, and the S&C Electric Company Fund, we aim to make a difference by funding meaningful community projects. Social Impact and Community Engagement TEAM MEMBER-LED INITIATIVES We empower our team members to support organizations and causes that hold meaning to them. In 2024, our team members led initiatives that resulted in the following: • $9,750 donated via the JP Morgan Challenge, a race held in the Chicago Loop, with proceeds benefiting Hope Chicago
