Peoples Gas took the top spot in brand trust performance among natural gas utilities in the Midwest, scoring 725 points on a scale of 1,000. The company ranked eighth nationally among natural gas utilities.

"Over the past few years, we've worked hard to improve customer service, increase customer engagement and expand our community partnerships and corporate giving programs," said Charles Matthews, president and CEO of Peoples Gas. "These results show our customers have noticed and appreciate the direction we're headed."

The survey was released June 25 and found utilities are earning trust with customers by encouraging employee volunteering, listening to community feedback and making customers more aware of local support and charitable giving. It also found customers were generally happier with the information utilities communicated and the mediums used to deliver those communications.

"It's nice to have a number 1 ranking, but it's much nicer to know we're doing a good job of communicating with and listening to our customers," said Larry Szumski, vice president – customer relations for Peoples Gas. "In today's ever-changing world, you have to get better every day because there are so many new ways to reach your customers."
