Message from our President and CEO

Over the past 100 years, NorthWestern Energy has maintained our commitment to provide customers with reliable and affordable electric and natural gas service while also being good stewards of the environment.

We have long been committed to excellent corporate governance, deep community engagement and robust environmental programs.

We have an obligation to ensure sustainable long-term strategies and practices to meet today’s needs while preparing to meet tomorrow’s. In turn, we recognize sustainability is built upon operational excellence, financial soundness, constructive policy and, perhaps above all, cultural integrity.

Our business practices reflect a respect for, and a commitment to, ESG policies and practices.
