Atmos Energy Corporation (NYSE: ATO) today released its 2019
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CRS) Report detailing
its focus on safety, strong governance, commitment to protecting
the environment and support of the communities in which we live,
work and serve our neighbors, friends and family members.
In addition to our CRS report, we have also enhanced our website
to provide additional information on various environmental, social
and governance (ESG) metrics. Our distribution and transmission
system modernization programs have replaced 4,400 miles of pipe
since 2012 and supports our goal to reduce methane emissions 50% by
2035. At our state-of-the-art Charles K. Vaughan Center, we
provided employees, first responders and emergency responders more
than 1.3 million hours of training since 2010. In fiscal 2019, our
Board of Directors established a new Corporate Responsibility,
Sustainability, & Safety Committee. This committee will provide
oversight, direction and strategy in support of our ESG and safety
programs.
We proudly serve our communities and in 2019 we volunteered more
than 35,000 hours and provided financial resources of $5 million,
to support education, health and community welfare. We also
invested in our greatest and most important asset, our employees.
Over the last five years, our employees received more than $1
million in educational assistance to further their work toward
technical training or a college degree.
“Our longstanding guiding principles summarize the values,
beliefs and behaviors we embrace as a company. They are the
foundation for all that we do and support the sustainability and
environmental, social and governance considerations in our
strategic thinking,” said Kevin Akers, Atmos Energy President and
Chief Executive Officer. “Our 2019 CRS and Methane Emission reports
reflect our commitment to being the safest provider of natural gas
services and a good neighbor in the over 1,400 communities we
serve,” Akers concluded.
We will continue to evaluate the operational metrics that drive
our long-term success and use our website and CRS report to provide
stakeholders a better understanding of how we mitigate risk, create
long-term sustainability, and partner with our communities. Please
