Favorite PECO Core Value

Do the Right Thing – “We do the right thing even if it isn’t always the easy thing. Why? Doing the “wrong” thing always leads to more difficulty and hardship in the long run. And any type of “success” accomplished the “wrong” way will be less meaningful and much more fleeting. I sleep well at night knowing that each day I have tried my best and acted in an honest, ethical and respectful manner.
