Atmos Energy Corporation (NYSE: ATO) has released its 2020
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CRS) Report
illustrating the company’s commitment to safety, strong governance,
investments in employees and infrastructure, preserving and
protecting the environment, and fueling safe and thriving
communities. Atmos Energy has also made available its 2020 Methane
Emissions Report, providing targeted information to the public
about ongoing efforts to monitor, control, and reduce methane
emissions.
“Our steadfast commitment to safety paired with the guiding
principles of our culture have enabled us to demonstrate the
resiliency and reliability of natural gas,” said Kevin Akers, Atmos
Energy president and CEO. “I am extremely proud of our employees’
dedication and commitment to keeping our 3.1 million customers, our
1,400 communities, themselves, and their families healthy and
safe,” Akers added.
Among the many highlights detailed throughout the latest CRS
Report, Atmos Energy took the early step to voluntarily suspend
natural gas disconnections and announced a $1.5 million donation to
stock the shelves at local food banks to support those in need.
Atmos Energy also donated $1 million to energy assistance agencies
across its service territory to support friends and neighbors in
need, and supported community assistance agencies working to
distribute over $11 million in financial assistance through the
federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the
company’s own Sharing the Warmth program, and other assistance
programs to help struggling customers manage past-due balances.
Atmos Energy takes immense pride in fueling safe and thriving
communities every day.
“Atmos Energy is proud to demonstrate our commitment to the
environment and the long-term sustainability of natural gas as a
vital energy resource,” Akers added. “We are dedicated to
identifying operational and technological solutions that drive
continuous improvement as we work to achieve our target of a 50
percent reduction in methane emissions from our natural gas
distribution system by 2035, including ongoing system modernization
efforts. Additionally, in 2020 Atmos Energy joined ONE Future,
which is a coalition of natural gas companies working together to
proactively reduce methane emissions across the natural gas value
chain.”
