American States Water Company’s Subsidiary Recognized for Promoting Veteran Employment

American States Utility Services, Inc. (ASUS), a wholly owned subsidiary of American States Water Company (NYSE: AWR), has earned the designation VETS Indexes 3 Star Employer, as part of the 2021 VETS Indexes Employer Awards. The award recognizes ASUS’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and supporting veteran employees and others in the military-connected community.

“ASUS has established itself as one of the nation’s top veteran employers, with its status as a VETS Indexes 3 Star Employer,” stated George Altman, managing director of VETS Indexes. “Their commitment to not just hiring veterans, but then helping them to develop into integral and high-ranking employees, is outstanding and deserves recognition.”

Robert Sprowls, President and CEO of American States Water Company, added, “Our company has always valued our veteran employees, who contribute to our diverse and talented team. It is great to be recognized for our ongoing efforts and we look forward to continuing to provide excellent water and wastewater services to military personnel and their families.”

The first inaugural VETS Indexes Employer Awards are based on VETS Indexes’ granular and objective 65-question survey, which evaluates employers across the following 5 categories:

  • Veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring
  • Veteran employee development and retention
  • Veteran-inclusive company policies and culture
  • Support for members of the National Guard and Reserves
  • Military spouse/family support

The VETS Indexes Employer Awards are reserved only for the organizations whose veteran-related efforts stand out from the pack, as the best. VETS Indexes is a firm dedicated to promoting veteran employment and is an independent provider of custom indexes within the Environmental, Social and Governance arena. Drawing on deep and broad industry experience, they construct and disseminate thematic impact indexes for investors, exchanges and asset managers which serve as the underlying portfolios for financial products.
