Constellation scores as top-rated energy
company in annual ranking that grades businesses on a variety of
environmental, social and governance measures
Constellation (Nasdaq: CEG), the nation’s largest
producer of carbon-free energy, ranked ninth in Barron’s seventh
annual “100 Most Sustainable Companies” list, which measures the
largest 1,000 publicly traded U.S. companies using 230
environmental, social and governance criteria ranging from
workplace diversity to greenhouse-gas emissions. Constellation,
making its debut on the list this year, achieved the highest score
of any energy company. Barron’s worked with Calvert Research and
Management, a leader in responsible investing, to compile the
rankings.
“Being recognized by Barron’s as one of the nation’s top 10 most
sustainable companies reinforces both our purpose of accelerating
the transition to a carbon-free future and our efforts to foster a
diverse and inclusive workplace culture,” said Kathleen Barrón,
executive vice president and chief strategy officer, Constellation.
“As the nation’s largest producer of clean nuclear energy, we
embrace our role of ensuring that electricity remains reliable and
affordable for the millions of Americans who rely on us every day
to keep their families and businesses thriving.”
For the 10th consecutive year, Constellation was the nation’s
largest producer of clean, carbon-free energy and boasted the
lowest rate of carbon dioxide emissions among the 20 largest
private, investor-owned power producers in the United States,
according to an independent analysis based on publicly reported
2021 air emissions data. With annual output that is nearly 90%
carbon-free, the company has continued to invest in and expand its
fleet of carbon-free generation by:
- Acquiring a partial ownership stake in the South Texas Project
Nuclear Plant
- Committing $800 million for equipment upgrades at two of its
Illinois clean energy centers to generate an additional 135
megawatts of reliable, carbon-free energy
- Launching a $350 million project to repower its wind fleet,
enabling it to generate 35% more zero-carbon energy
Constellation’s suite of commercial clean energy solutions has
helped its large business customers advance their own
sustainability and climate goals. In 2023, Constellation began
offering its hourly carbon-free energy (CFE) matching product,
which matches customer energy use with clean energy produced at the
time and place it is needed. Microsoft, which helped design the
technology to achieve hourly matching, and Chicago utility ComEd,
are leveraging the product to reach actual zero emissions for their
operations.
The company continues to grow its workforce diversity by
sourcing talent with an enhanced focus on diverse populations
through relationships, technology and inclusive practices.
Constellation has built and expanded partnerships with
organizations such as Disability:IN, Recruit Military, Society of
Women Engineers and National Society of Black Engineers. It also
supports nine employee resource groups (ERGs) that are open to all
employees to share experiences and connect with colleagues. More
than 5,000 employees participate in at least one ERG, and there are
over 67 chapters spread across the company.
Constellation delivered significant community impact on 2023,
contributing $18.7 million in combined philanthropic giving in
support of more than 4,400 charities nationwide. Eighty-one percent
of the company’s $8.1 million in direct grant funding supported
organizations, programs or events that served diverse populations.
Constellation employees also logged more than 102,000 volunteer
service hours in 2023.
The company also advanced its signature workforce development
initiative, Powering Change, in which it partners with regional and
national nonprofit organizations dedicated to breaking down
employment barriers for people in historically underserved and
underrepresented communities. Its inaugural Youth Energy Summit and
longstanding Energy to Educate grant program collectively helped to
bring STEM education and exploration of energy careers to thousands
of students nationwide.
Constellation, which was certified by Great Place To Work® in
2023, also received the Community Partnership Award from The Center
for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) for its work in building a
skilled energy workforce that represents the diverse communities it
serves.
