Farrell, II, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We are guided every day by our core values as we work to deliver safe, reliable, affordable energy to our customers.”
The Wall Street Journal produces the annual report and rankings based on data compiled by the Drucker Institute. Drucker believed companies should care for its employees, benefit society and look beyond profits.

Dominion Energy ranks 5th nationwide and is the highest ranking energy company on this prestigious list. This is the 10th consecutive year Dominion Energy has been identified as a military-friendly company.

“Recruiting, hiring and training veterans continues to be a top priority at Dominion Energy,” said Farrell. “Veterans possess many of the qualities we seek in our workforce.
