in Vermont and the first utility in Vermont to do so. "This is a
remarkable accomplishment that each and every one of us at Green
Mountain Power is proud of. It confirms that we have made
significant progress in our efforts to run our business in a way
that is environmentally, socially and economically responsible,"
said Chris Dutton, president and chief executive officer of Green

this company into a high performing enterprise that holds strong
environmental and corporate responsibility values and I am happy to
see them recognized." Green Mountain Power's Corporate
