American Electric Power releases 2nd corporate sustainability report
From the Report Alert:
American Electric Power has published its second corporate sustainability report – “Working Together For A Brighter Future.” available from www.aep.com/cr. This year’s report highlights the progress the company has made since implementing its CSR strategy and addresses issues that affect AEP’s ongoing sustainability including climate change; environmental performance; public policy; energy security, reliability and growth; work force issues; stakeholder engagement and leadership, management and strategy. As part of the company’s focus on sustainability, AEP management met with more than 100 stakeholders during the last year to receive input about the company’s performance, reporting process and its business practices. Stakeholders participating included state and federal regulators, power plant neighbors, environmental and conservation advocates, customers, employees, investors, community leaders and representatives from academia. The report was prepared according to G3 Reporting Principles established by the Global Reporting Initiative, a voluntary reporting framework used by organizations around the world as the basis for sustainability reporting.
This report might be useful for cluster students working on the “greening of business”project. You can get the report directly from AEP’s website.
