A Message to Our Friends and Family

At WGL, we are committed to a sustainable future through the energy solutions we provide—including clean natural gas and renewable solar and wind energy—and our leadership in the communities we serve. Our flagship company, Washington Gas, has been a fixture in the Washington, D.C., region since 1848. Today, the WGL family of companies continues to be a partner with not only communities in the D.C. region, but our vision is to be active and productive members of the commu-nities in which we operate throughout the country.

Our 2013 Community Report shares our commitment with you, and demonstrates how we support and partner with organiza-tions that contribute to our community. We do this by helping to find solutions to today’s challenges, not only in energy, but in all walks of life.

Our commitment includes:

• providing leadership in community, business and charitable organizations;

• providing energy assistance to help heat the homes of those in the greatest need;

• supporting area charities through volunteerism and fund­raising efforts;

• supporting the growth of our communities in health, education and the environment; and

• setting the example for others in environmental stewardship.

We believe that citizenship is not just residing or doing business in the communities we serve, it is being an active member of those communities and contributing to the well-being of everyone.

This report also serves to recognize the tireless efforts of our dedicated employees whose volunteer efforts and hours con-sistently rank among the highest within the business sector in the D.C. region. At WGL, employees are not just the lifeblood and drivers of our business, they also are our greatest ambassadors.

Thank you for your trust in WGL and our family of companies. As we have since 1848, we will continue to work every day to improve the quality of life for the communities we serve. Together, we will all work toward building a sustainable future.

With best regards,

Eric C. GrantVice President—Corporate Relations
