Consequently in 2004 the scorebox of Karma was
integrated into the business plan as the primary fo-
cus. Initially it was a learning process Graycon ad-
mits as people would ask for raises to increase their
“Grayconian happiness”, but it was well worth the
introduction. Many Grayconians are proud to lead
fun and engaging Karma events, approximately twice
a month, that impact worthy local charities. One of
these events was the celebration of Graycon’s 25th
anniversary—a house party with over 300 people.
“It’s really about facilitating engagement internally
and with the community, our partners and our ven-
dors. Would an energy company with a contracting
position pay a little more? Maybe, but at Graycon
there’s more to it. You see people who are proud to
lead our Karma events, because it’s a charity that is
near and dear to them and they can muster a whole
bunch of other people to get out and really do some
good,” said Gray. It’s rewarding on many levels. Gray-
con makes volunteering monetarily rewarding as well
