Company recognized for continued excellence
in environmental stewardship and innovation and being a workplace
of choice
Exelon Corporation ranks among the industry leaders in corporate
sustainability based on several key measures, including
environmental policies, innovation and attracting and retaining
talented employees, according to the 2017 Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI). The company was recognized by the global report,
which reviews the 600 largest North American companies, for the
twelfth consecutive year. Exelon was one of eight electric and gas
companies to be named to the DJSI for North America out of 32
companies in the utilities category.
“Being an industry leader means making a significant effort to
deliver a cleaner, brighter energy future,” said Chris Crane,
Exelon’s President and CEO. “The customer is at the center of all
we do, and we are proud to be recognized for our consistent efforts
to innovate and develop solutions so we can deliver on our
sustainability commitments to our customers and communities.”
The DJSI assessment is conducted each year by sustainability
investment specialist RobecoSAM. It is based on a comprehensive
review of environmental performance, innovation management,
corporate governance, risk management, stakeholder engagement and
talent attraction and retention.
In 2016, Exelon demonstrated outstanding performance in these
areas, including helping customers save enough electricity to power
more than 1.5 million homes for one year.
The company’s annual Innovation Expo continues to bring
employees and industry experts together to explore new approaches
to challenges affecting the energy industry as well as ways to
improve customer experience and service. Outstanding employee
ideas, including the 2016 winner who developed an updated process
for utility inventory control, are adopted by the business. This
year’s leading entries out of 500 employee presentations included a
proposal to incorporate fuel generation into Exelon’s commercial
product portfolio and a digital tool for more detailed views of the
company’s nuclear plants.
In 2016, Exelon’s continued focus on programs and policies to
benefit employees included signing the national Equal Pay Pledge
commitment to gender pay equity and expanding family leave benefits
with an industry-leading benefit package. For these and other
efforts, Exelon was named one of DiversityInc.’s “Diversity50” as
well as a “Best Place to Work” by Indeed.com in 2017.
