Stakeholder Research Results

In a rapidly changing environment, ESA must be proactive in improving safety. To do so, we often survey our stakeholders and the public. We want to:

  • Understand our audiences;
  • Understand how change affects safety;
  • Understand and manage perceptions of the work we do; and
  • Measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.

The following reports share some recent results.

Multi-Stakeholder Accountability Survey

2025 multi-stakeholder report

ESA commissioned Innovative Research Group to design and execute a bi-annual, multi-stakeholder survey to gauge perceptions of the organization.

To measure accountability across all stakeholders, six groups were surveyed: Licensed Electrical Contractors/Master Electricians, Homeowners, Local Distribution Companies (LDC) managers and LDC executives, safety industry and product safety stakeholders. Participants shared their perspective on access to ESA's services and their experiences.

Each survey compares results to those of previous years’.
