ATLANTA, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Company
Gas has launched its first-ever corporate sustainability magazine.
Titled Ingenuity: Fueling a Sustainable Future, the magazine
showcases actions the business has taken to enhance corporate
sustainability and continue planning for climate risks and
opportunities. Topics of interest in the inaugural issue focus on
enterprise efforts to protect the environment, clean energy
innovation and the path toward net-zero greenhouse gas
emissions.
"We are pleased to introduce a new way of connecting with our
stakeholders about critical climate conversations," said
Kim Greene, chairman, president and
CEO of Southern Company Gas. "While Southern Company Gas remains
focused on providing for the immediate needs of our customers, we
also are dedicated to providing them with long-term energy
solutions. This publication demonstrates how we accomplish
both."
Upcoming issues of the magazine will cover broader
sustainability initiatives and will engage with stakeholders on a
more frequent basis than the traditional reports issued annually by
many companies. The publication offers supplemental context and
color around Southern Company Gas metrics and results. It also
spotlights natural gas-related opportunities that are part of
Southern Company's more comprehensive enterprise reports.
"I want to focus on what we can do now to contribute to a future
in which our environment remains protected for generations to
come," Greene said. "And the most practical, realistic way to
achieve a sustainable future where energy is clean, safe, reliable
and affordable is to ensure it includes natural gas and the
infrastructure that transports it."
In 2020, Southern Company Gas announced its support of parent
company Southern Company's enterprise-wide goal to reach net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions in its enterprise operations by 2050. That
same year, Southern Company Gas also announced new leadership and
departments to enable the business to more keenly focus on reaching
its sustainability strategy. The company continues not only to be
aggressive with its own sustainability efforts, but also influence
the natural gas value chain through industry-wide initiatives.
Through these collaborative partnerships with industry, customers,
employees and governments, Southern Company Gas continues to act
responsibly to lessen its environmental impact while delivering
community benefits.
