ONE Gas, parent company of Oklahoma Natural Gas Co., released its annual Sustainability Report last week, highlighting priorities related to safety, environmental sustainability and its workforce.
The report offers insight into key ONE Gas benchmarks in the natural gas industry, including reducing emissions, improving systemwide safety, boosting employee engagement, and contributing to communities.
“We are committed to expanding our role in advancing energy solutions and fulfilling our mission to deliver natural gas for a better tomorrow,” President and CEO Sid McAnnally said.
ONE Gas reported achieving several milestones in 2024.
• Safety and system integrity: For the eighth consecutive year, the American Gas Association recognized ONE Gas for excellence in employee safety. ONE Gas’ safety scores place the company among the safest natural gas distribution companies nationwide.
