Nicor also believes in family values – demonstrated in its sponsorship support of family-oriented entertainment venues Brookfield Zoo and the Kane County Cougars minor league baseball team.

Nicor is included in the Standard and Poor's 500 Index as well as having its bonds rated AA, the highest rating given to a natural gas distribution company. This success has given Nicor the ability to develop new technologies, new businesses and new services to meet its customers' energy needs.
