Report Introduction
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 customers. To that end, we have developed a tighter integration between our sustainability priorities and our long-range planning. Additionally, we have established a Safety, Environment, Operations, and Sustainability Committee of the Board; a Vice President-level Environment, Social, and Governance Committee; and a Sustainability Leadership Council to strengthen sustainability governance across all aspects of our company.
We worked with BSR, a leading sustainability consulting firm, to help us refresh our materiality assessment and determine our key sustainability priorities.
These sustainability priorities, listed below, reflect our core business areas of focus: Safety & Environment, Operational Excellence, and Customer & Community. More details on each of these priorities can be found in this report.
