Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) is proud to be participating in an
industrywide effort to promote consistency in utility reporting of
progress on environmental, social and governance (ESG) and
sustainability issues.
Eversource is a member of the Edison Electric Institute (EEI),
which launched a template for the uniform disclosure of
environmental, social, governance, and sustainability-related
(ESG/sustainability) reporting for the benefit of their electric
customers and financial markets. The template includes guidance for
utility reporting regarding ESG governance, energy portfolios,
emissions, and human and natural resources and can be found on EEI
ESG Initiative page of the Eversource website.
“Our work on behalf of our communities correlates with our
efforts to be the catalyst for clean energy development in New
England,” said Eversource Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer Jim Judge. “We continue to execute our strategic plan to
advance diversity and inclusion across all our operations and to
our Board of Trustees. We believe that a diverse and engaged
workforce and inclusive culture contributes to our success and
sustainability.”
Eversource has been a leader in the development of clean energy
in New England, from the construction of solar generation, to the
build-out of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, to proposals
for large-scale battery storage and the continued future
development of energy from offshore wind.
The company has been nationally recognized as a top 20 company
for its leadership in corporate sustainability and environmental
performance in Newsweek magazine’s annual Green Rankings list of
500 U.S. companies. Consistently identified as one of the nation’s
top-ranked providers of energy efficiency programs, Eversource was
recognized as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens in the United
