Fueling Good: Gas South’s Legacy of Generosity Continues
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024
goBeyondProfit, a first-of-its-kind business leader initiative that inspires business generosity, celebrates Gas South and its CEO, Kevin Greiner, for their unwavering commitment to generosity.
Five years after receiving the inaugural goBeyondProfit Champion Award, Gas South continues to demonstrate how generosity in business strengthens organizations during times of significant growth and change.
Recently, goBeyondProfit interviewed Gas South CEO, Kevin Greiner, to explore the company’s ongoing commitment to its purpose, Be a Fuel for Good. The conversation highlighted how this guiding principle has evolved into a fully integrated strategy, fostering loyalty among employees and customers while informing critical business decisions.
By staying true to its purpose, Gas South has discovered that generosity is not just good corporate citizenship – it’s a powerful strategic advantage.
“I think being a generous company is truly multifaceted,” says Kevin Greiner, CEO of Gas South. “Our employees love it because they feel like they have a sense of purpose coming to Gas South. Our customers see us as a company that really leans into the community, which leads to a level of loyalty that is uncommon in our industry. And we are seen as a leader in our industry in part because of how we lean into community engagement.”
True to its purpose, Gas South has consistently raised the bar on business generosity. Their pledge to donate 5% of annual profits to youth organizations has reached a remarkable $4.5 million in donations in 2024.
Navigating mergers, acquisitions, shifting energy markets, and even a global pandemic, Gas South's generosity remains steadfast, as CEO Kevin Greiner reveals in his full interview with goBeyondProfit: www.gobeyondprofit.org/champion
