Mission, Vision and Values: Dominion Virginia Power

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Based in Richmond, Dominion Virginia Power is a public utility serving much of the state of Virginia. The parent company operates in 11 states; an extension of  the company is Dominion North Carolina Power. Overall, Dominion is one of the nations largest energy companies, one that deals in far more than only electricity. It carries  a "portfolio of approximately 26,500 megawatts of generation, 1.1 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved natural gas and oil reserves and 14,000 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage  pipeline" (Dominion Releases Dimensions 2008, 2008). Customers are residential and commercial electric and natural gas customers. Dominion Virginia Power services an area that includes "65 percent of Virginias  total land area, but accounts for over 80 percent of its population" (Dominion Virginia Power, 2008). Mission Statement Dominion states its mission not  in a succinct statement, but rather in a passage of about 700 words (Corporate Mission, Values and Policies, 2008). A better approach could be: It is the mission of  Dominion Virginia Power to provide the highest quality service to customers while returning value to all stakeholders. This value is to be not only in monetary growth, but also  environmental responsibility; ethical behavior; and long-range sustainability. It is Dominion Virginia Powers business to sell the fuel that provides light, heat, computer power,  cooking, air conditioning and all other processes that rely on either electricity or natural gas, but a focus on sustainability implies a concerted effort to establish long-term, attainable and truly  beneficial environmental goals (as opposed to "greenwashing," such as joining the carbon credits-purchasing scam). Focusing on true alternatives that can be sustainable over generations will lead Dominion Virginia Power
