Thank you for investing your trust in CenterPoint Energy.
Our vision is “to be recognized as America’s leading energy
delivery company . . . and more.” We believe we will have
achieved this vision when CenterPoint Energy delivers
world-class performance to four key stakeholder groups

customers, our employees and the communities we serve.

values and a sound corporate strategy. Though detailed in its

focus on making our businesses more efficient and cost-
