Our Mission:  To help everyone become more efficient, sustainable, and knowledgeable with their energy sourcing and ESG implementation.

Our Values:

GOOD MANNERS – Good manners count for everything.  They extend beyond communication with customers.  We strive to make it part of our interaction with everyone we encounter.

DEPENDABLE – We only need to be asked once.  Our clients, suppliers, and co-workers should never have to ask twice.  They should know that they can always rely on us to get back with them to answer questions or provide the information they need. 

POSITIVELY INQUISITIVE – We are good detectives.  Asking questions to learn as much as we can, in a positive way, in order to improve the offering and experience for our customers and suppliers.

HEALTHY SENSE OF URGENCY – Making our customers priorities our priorities.  Understanding what they need, when they need it, and getting it to them.

ACTIVELY ENGAGED – The people we engage are important.  We focus on our conversations, without distractions, when we’re on the phone and in face-to-face meetings.

How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?
We follow leading industry analysts, actively participate in forums and professional organizations, along with gathering and dissecting third-party and partner publications on a daily basis to keep our team and clients on the cutting edge of industry developments and evolving trends.

Our employees are our most valuable asset bar none. We pride ourselves on world class client service and being an industry leader in the energy space.  We try to create a culture of fun and put family first beyond all else. Rewarding employees, and attracting the best talent is the key to our success. We strive to create a great working environment where our employees feel valued and enjoy coming to work every day.

What does it take to be a successful employee at your company?
Our employees’ values align with our company values and we all understand that being part of a small company means we never say, “that’s not my job”.  The successful employee at WEC understands our mission and proactively attempts to solve client problems that they might not even know they have.  We put family first so our employees are assured a satisfying family/work balance.
