- Company makes CDP's 2022 'A' List for both Climate Change,
Water Security
RICHMOND, Va., March 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) has
earned an "A" for both Climate Change and Water Security in the
latest rankings from CDP. The grades denote the company's
leadership in transparency and performance on climate change and
water security. Dominion Energy was one of nearly 15,000 companies
that were scored on their climate and/or water responses to CDP.
Only 2% of those companies were awarded an "A" rating in either
category.
"Actions speak louder," said Robert M.
Blue, Dominion Energy's chair, president, and chief
executive officer. "Our company is committed to leading the
clean-energy transition — and to becoming the most sustainable
energy company in America — while safely and sustainably providing
reliable, affordable service to our customers. These results show
we're succeeding. I'm immensely proud of all the Dominion Energy
employees whose hard work and dedication to ethics, excellence, and
the environment have earned us this distinction."
CDP — a nonprofit that operates a global disclosure system for
investors, companies, and governments to manage their impact on the
environment — believes in urgent action to address climate change
and prevent environmental damage. Its scoring aligns with the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, and its work is
widely recognized as the gold standard of environmental
reporting.
Dominion Energy's grades reflect scoring based on the CDP's
Electric Utility evaluation criteria. While CDP requires companies
to select a primary sector for which to be graded, in the interest
of transparency, Dominion Energy also responded to questions about
its 2021 gas operations for this scoring iteration.
In addition to its recognition from CDP, Dominion Energy
currently holds an AA rating (leader band) from the environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) rating firm MSCI for its management of
ESG issues, and has been named a Trendsetter from the Center for
Political Accountability and the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics
and Research at the University of
Pennsylvania.
About 7 million customers in 16 states energize their homes
and businesses with electricity or natural gas from Dominion Energy
(NYSE: D), headquartered in Richmond, Va. The company is
committed to safely providing reliable, affordable and
sustainable energy and to achieving Net Zero emissions by
2050. Please visit DominionEnergy.com to learn
