COMPANY Summary
As a combined organization, Franklin Energy and AM Conservation Group is
undertaking what is perhaps the central challenge of our times - to help
drive the transition to net-zero carbon economies while ensuring that no
working families, businesses, or local communities are left behind. To
do that, we are the utility industry's top provider of turn-key energy
efficiency and grid optimization programs and products, all of which
contribute to reducing carbon and waste and, at the same time, free-up
resources for creating more innovation investment and jobs. With over 26
years in business, we have more than 1,300 experts across the United
States, with warehouses on both coasts. The organization's integrated
in-house services provide deep personalization and insights, helping
energy partners achieve their carbon-reduction and energy productivity
goals.
We believe the organization's most "precious resources" are its
people. We pledge a relentless pursuit to embody a culture that
acknowledges, recognizes, and infinitely seeks to understand the unique
differences of its people. We are committed to creating employee
experiences that continually attract and embrace a multiracial,
multicultural, and multigenerational workforce that promotes outstanding
performance and mirrors our diverse partnerships, clients and
communities we serve.
