Supporting Our Veterans
At Xcel Energy, one in ten of our coworkers hold veteran status. We have veterans at all levels of our company,
including our chairman, president and CEO and 50 others in senior leadership roles. No matter their role with
our company, they bring deep commitment and a spirit of service, carrying forward the lessons, discipline and
skills they learned while serving.
We honor and support veterans through our VETS business resource group (BRG), which is dedicated to the
development and best interests of our veteran employees.
Thanks in large part to our VETS BRG, Xcel Energy continues to be recognized as a top employer in the U.S. for
veterans and the military community. This includes being named a 5-Star Employer through the VETS Indexes
Employer Awards and recognized as a Military Times’ Best for Vets employer.
