Company announces expanded emissions goals to its Clean Energy
Vision
Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: LNT) published its 2023
Corporate Responsibility Report (CRR) today, providing details
on the company’s achievements and progress toward environmental,
social and governance (ESG) initiatives. The report highlights the
company’s progress on creating a diverse mix of energy sources,
engaging employees and making a positive impact on the communities
it serves, which are all central to its strategy.
“We’re proud to deliver energy solutions that our customers and
communities count on every day,” said John Larsen, Board Chair
& CEO, Alliant Energy. “As we continue consistent execution of
our strategy, we are pleased to transparently demonstrate our
actions and purpose in motion. We know our plans and future actions
will make a difference in creating a healthier environment for
future generations.”
In addition to publishing its annual CRR today, the company also
introduced an expansion of its goal for reducing carbon dioxide
emissions to now include all EPA reported greenhouse gases,
including methane emissions from its natural gas distribution
operations. This update includes refreshing the current 2040 goal
to include reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our utility
operations by 80% from 2005 levels.
“The expansion of our clean energy goals bolsters our commitment
to creating a diverse portfolio of generating facilities that
ensures we continue to deliver reliable energy for all customers,”
said Barbara Tormaschy, Senior Vice President Sustainable &
Regulatory Strategy, Alliant Energy. “Based on retail sales, 40% of
the energy we supplied to customers in 2022 was renewable. The
investments we make today are creating tremendous value for
customers now and in the future. We look forward to continuing to
provide the energy solutions our customers need, safely, reliably
and sustainably.”
Alliant Energy’s dedication to employees as well as its positive
and inclusive workplace culture led to the company receiving many
awards and recognition throughout the year. Most recently,
and for the fifth consecutive year, Forbes named Alliant Energy to
the list of America’s Best Midsize Employers.
Demonstrating its commitment to caring for others, Alliant
Energy, employees, retirees and the company’s charitable foundation
donate to and volunteer with organizations and communities across
Iowa and Wisconsin. In 2022, the company contributed $12.1
million and volunteered over 70,000 hours.
