About

An ‘outspoken’ and ‘committed’ diversity advocate, Carrie Hightman’s efforts helped Nisource onto Ethisphere’s list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies in 2012 and 2013. Her Women’s Leadership Summit focused internally, while the Preferred Supplier program aimed to ensure NiSource’s external law firms shared its values. Hightman also rewrote the company’s code of conduct and overhauled its compliance program. ‘Carrie has been at the forefront of reshaping NiSource’s conducts business,’ says one private practice source.
