Based on performance in areas of environmental,
social and corporate governance
For the second consecutive year, New Jersey Resources (NYSE:
NJR) has been named one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by
Newsweek in recognition of its excellence and accomplishments in
corporate social responsibility.
NJR was selected from a cross-industry pool of over 2,000
companies that were evaluated and ranked based on a detailed
analysis of key performance indicators in three areas of corporate
social responsibility: environmental, social and corporate
governance.
“This is a great acknowledgement of our company’s commitment to
sustainable practices for the environment, our employees and the
communities we serve,” said Steve Westhoven, president and CEO of
New Jersey Resources. “NJR continues to be a leader in reducing
emissions, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, and
supporting communities through our corporate citizenship and
volunteerism efforts. It’s an honor to be recognized for our
commitment to these values.”
Environmental stewardship and sustainability have long been
priorities for NJR. Its regulated utility, New Jersey Natural Gas,
has been a leader in reducing emissions – making infrastructure
upgrades and investments to build the most environmentally sound
delivery system in the state, as measured by leaks per mile – as
well as helping customers reduce their energy consumption through
its energy-efficiency initiatives. NJR’s renewable energy
subsidiary, Clean Energy Ventures, was one of the earliest
investors in New Jersey’s solar market; and today, it is one of the
largest, with over $1 billion invested in solar projects across all
the state’s 21 counties.
