are at the heart of the new brand
OAKVILLE, ON, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Liberty Utilities ("Liberty" or the "Company"), the regulated services division of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("APUC", "Algonquin" (TSX/NYSE: AQN)), has launched a refreshed brand under the single name, "Liberty." The new expression emphasizes the Company's purpose– to demonstrate customer-centricity by sustaining energy and water for life.
A new visual identity that reflects a forward-thinking organization
In launching the refreshed brand, the Company is introducing its new "radiant heart" logo design—a striking expression of how Liberty is putting its heart where it matters.
This radiant heart design reflects Liberty's commitment to its stakeholders and symbolizes energy and water that are the heartbeat of customers' homes. Liberty's core purpose is to deliver sustainable energy and water for life; the services Liberty provides directly affect, and are essential to, its customers' quality of life and wellbeing. Reliable, affordable service matters and greener, more sustainable systems matter—for the future of our communities.
Across the organization, Liberty is putting our customers in the center of every decision we make. Our commitment to customer-centricity is being reinforced through our Customer First program. This transformative effort will provide our employees with the information they need to better serve our customers, and for our customers to enjoy a seamless experience whether through a digital channel or with a member of our local customer service team.
In addition, Liberty will continue its contribution towards Algonquin's publicly stated sustainability goals. Algonquin is dedicated to increasing access to clean energy and water while cultivating a culture of compliance, ethics, and operational excellence. Progress towards these goals was recently released in the Company's 2020 Sustainability Report. This report is available at http://algonquinpower.com/sustainability.
Liberty will be introducing the new look in phases. Customers and communities will see changes beginning in Fall 2020.
