DALLAS – Feb. 17, 2026 – Atmos Energy continues to gain national recognition for being a great employer, which is an integral part of its vision to be the safest provider of natural gas services. For the sixth consecutive year, Atmos Energy has been named to the Forbes list of “America’s Best Large Employers,” ranking as one of the top 100 employers overall and placing second among all utilities.

This continued recognition reflects the strength of AtmoSpirit, the company’s deeply rooted safety culture, which encourages collaboration, innovation, and engagement powered by employees whose diverse skills, backgrounds, and experiences represent the 1,400 communities Atmos Energy proudly serves across eight states.

“Being recognized yet again is a direct reflection of the passion and commitment to safety that our employees bring to work every day,” said Matt Robbins, Atmos Energy senior vice president of human resources. “For nearly 30 years, AtmoSpirit has guided how we Make a Difference, Inspire Trust and Bring Out the Best in Others. As we look ahead and Focus on the Future, these principles will continue to shape our efforts to be the safest provider of natural gas services and as an employer of choice in the communities where we are honored to live and work.”

Forbes partnered with Statista to determine the annual rankings based primarily on survey responses from more than 217,000 employees working at U.S. companies that employ at least 1,000 people. Atmos Energy qualifies among the 700 companies with over 5,000 employees that make up the list of “America’s Best Large Employers.” Survey participants evaluated employers based on both personal experience and public perception, with employee feedback weighted most heavily in the final rankings.
