Why we're sponsoring The Wall

Duke Energy wants to honor the more than 2,000 veterans who work at our company as well as community veterans. Our commitment extends beyond honoring their contributions and sacrifices. We recruit veterans for careers. Working in diverse teams, adapting to new environments and determination to see a job through to the end are qualities developed in the military and traits we value.
