New Environmental, Social and Governance Report Highlights Exelon’s Efforts To Create A Cleaner, Brighter Energy Future

Exelon today announced the release of its Environmental, Social and Governance Report (ESG) for investors as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to transparency on its corporate social responsibility strategy and performance. The report highlights Exelon’s efforts to address the climate crisis and build a cleaner, more resilient energy grid; foster diversity, equity and inclusion both within the company and externally; conduct its business ethically and in compliance with governance best practices; and create economic opportunity and empower customers and communities through educational programs, support for nonprofits and workforce development programs, among other things. This investor report complements the Exelon Corporate Sustainability Report, issued annually since 2002.

“These values have been at the core of our business since our company’s founding, when we launched a strategy to build the nation’s cleanest power generation fleet, create a workforce that reflects our communities, operate responsibly and transparently, and partner with the organizations working to make a more equitable and just world,” said Chris Crane, president and CEO of Exelon. “We have always been committed to doing what is right for our employees, customers and communities, and this report helps us track our progress and hold ourselves accountable.”

The report outlines Exelon’s record as the nation’s largest producer of carbon-free energy and its strong advocacy for state and federal energy policies that eliminate emissions from the energy sector. The report also notes the company’s recognition as a top employer for diversity by Human Rights Campaign, Diversity Inc. and Forbes Magazine, and details its strong governance structure, including the implementation of four new ethics policies that expand oversight over the company’s interactions with public officials. The report also highlights that Exelon:
