Company named to Carbon Disclosure Leadership
Index for sixth time
Global not-for-profit CDP has named Exelon to the 2015 Carbon
Disclosure Leadership Index for its leadership in climate change
transparency, marking the sixth time the energy company has
appeared on the index, released today in the S&P edition of
CDP’s annual global climate change report.
“As a leader in the energy industry, we take very seriously our
responsibility not only to address our impact on the environment
but to be forthright in reporting it,” said Chris Crane, president
and CEO of Exelon. “We are honored to have our climate change
reporting recognized again by CDP and will remain dedicated to
transparency for our customers, shareholders, communities and
employees.”
For the second year in a row, Exelon received a perfect score of
100 out of 100 possible points, making it one of the highest-ranked
utilities and one of the top scorers among S&P companies on the
index. Top scores indicate a high level of transparency in the
disclosure of climate change-related information, helping investors
assess corporate accountability and preparedness for changing
market demands and emissions regulation.
“As the world prepares for a low carbon future, reliable
information about how companies are responding to the transition
will be ever more valuable. For this reason, we congratulate those
businesses that have achieved a position on CDP’s Climate
Disclosure Leadership Index,” said Paul Dickinson, executive
chairman and co-founder of CDP.
Exelon has a long track record of recognition for its
sustainability disclosure and performance: Earlier this year, it
was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for a
tenth year in a row and ranked No. 61 on Newsweek’s Top Green
Companies in the U.S. Exelon is one of the nation’s largest
zero-carbon energy producers, the twelfth-largest U.S. wind energy

green utilities ranking by the independent analysis firm Energy
Intelligence, which takes into account companies’ greenhouse gas
emissions and renewable energy portfolios.
