ATCO Gas has a long history of being an active corporate citizen in the communities we serve, work and live in. Each year we work with different organizations to bring some of our flagship programs to your community.
ATCO Gas is committed to the protection and stewardship of the environment. This strongly held value is embedded in our staff training, reflected in our corporate decision making, and integrated into our business strategies. Our Environmental Policy outlines this commitment and our Environment Operating Principles incorporate practices that limit greenhouse gas emissions.
ATCO Gas collects meter readings and uses this measurement information to calculate how much natural gas has been used each charge period. Our company passes this information to your retailer, along with our delivery charges and your retailer passes these costs on to you.

ATCO Gas delivers safe, reliable, cost-effective natural gas to Alberta -- and has since 1912. That's why we say we're "Alberta-made". An investor-owned, rate regulated utility, ATCO Gas helps to build communities across the province because our people live, work and volunteer in the communities we serve.
ATCO launched an environmental first in Alberta in 2010 - a travelling classroom designed to teach students about the province's energy sources and energy conservation.
"ATCO's interactive Energy Education Mobile engages children as they learn about energy in Alberta," said Nancy Southern, President and Chief Executive Officer, ATCO Group. "The resource demonstrates ATCO's commitment to educating Albertans about energy efficiency now and into the future."
Developed by ATCO EnergySense in consultation with Alberta teachers, the biodiesel-fuelled vehicle was unveiled on the grounds of the Alberta legislature. It will travel to schools across Alberta providing a unique learning experience.
"Helping current and future customers, and all Albertans, make wise choices in energy use is an essential part of being a responsible energy company today," said Bill Stephens, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ATCO Gas.
"ATCO is contributing to sustainable energy use in Alberta," said Sett Policicchio, President, ATCO Electric.
