New role to oversee enterprise sustainability
strategy
ST.
LOUIS, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Building upon
Spire's commitment to the environment, its customers and
communities, Spire has named Nick
Popielski their first Vice President of Sustainability.
In this role, Popielski is responsible for leading Spire's
enterprise sustainability strategy to include environmental, social
and governance priorities and commitments.
The new role builds on Popielski's previous position as Head of
Environmental Commitment. Over the past two years, he and his team
have led Spire's environmental efforts, developing new processes to
reduce emissions, exploring alternative fuels and guiding Spire's
overall approach to meeting its commitment to being a carbon
neutral company by midcentury.
"Energy sustainability is a national priority, and creating this
position speaks to how Spire values this important work," said
Suzanne Sitherwood, Spire president
and CEO. "With Nick's expertise in data and analytics, he has put
Spire on a solid path to meet our environmental goals."
Popielski joined Spire in 2015, leading business and economic
development. In Feb. 2021, his role
expanded to also oversee Spire's environmental commitment. With
this transition to a new role, Popielski will focus exclusively on
sustainability.
Later this month, Spire will publish its annual Sustainability
Report, updating progress made across four key priorities: the
environment, safety, people and governance.
