Sustainability Strategy
Con Edison embeds sustainability goals, processes, and metrics into our core business strategy and operations to create lasting value for our communities and the customers we serve. To that end, we have developed a tighter integration between our sustainability priorities and our long-range planning. In addition, we have established a Sustainability Leadership Council to strengthen sustainability governance across all aspects of our company.
During the past two years we have worked with BSR, a leading sustainability consulting firm, to help us refresh our materiality assessment and determine our key sustainability priorities.
