Vicinity strives to create a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve. Our workplace practices prevent discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability status.
At Vicinity, we believe that a strong culture of social responsibility is necessary to serve the communities we operate in best. The values of service excellence, inclusion, teamwork, respect, innovation, and community-mindedness drive our team.
We expect all employees to comply with the letter and spirit of the laws that apply to our businesses and to act ethically. Conduct that falls short of these standards simply does not serve our interests. We further expect our leadership, managers, and supervisors to ensure that employees know what is expected of them and to set an example of appropriate conduct.
We will not compromise our standards for a short-term gain, such as winning a contract.
Our reputation and long-term future as an industry leader depend on it.

Our employees take pride in getting involved in our communities. The Vicinity Energy team regularly hosts donation drives, environmental clean-up days, and partners with local organizations and schools to improve the communities we serve.
Our Philadelphia, Grand Rapids, and Baltimore teams have held several food drives to benefit organizations like Philabundance, the Green Apple Pantry, and the Maryland Food Bank, contributing hundreds of pounds of food donations.
Our Grand Rapids and Boston teams have collected dozens of winter coats to benefit organizations like Mel Trotter Ministries, One Warm Coat, and the YMCA.
Our Baltimore team has donated over 100 backpacks to a local public school ahead of the school year.
Across our locations, our teams have conducted trail and river cleanups, especially where our operations are located like the Oklahoma River, the Charles River and the Schuylkill River.
Our employees and customers work together in the communities we serve, and we are proud to align our values with our customers and work to improve their businesses.

To preserve the historic artifacts housed in the Walters Art Museum, our buildings must meet precise humidification requirements. The reliability of district energy and its ability to meet the needs of our exhibitions while reducing our carbon footprint made Vicinity an excellent choice.
