ESG Focus Areas

• Environmental

Environmental Achievements

• Entergy has been recognized as a leader in sustainability by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for 10 consecutive years.
• Entergy’s environmental strategy includes a third voluntary greenhouse gas commitment through 2020, representing 20 years of continuous greenhouse gas emission stabilization.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Numerous simultaneous environmental regulations with compressed compliance timelines.
• Continuously tightening compliance obligations.
• Uncertainty regarding final rules, litigation, congressional activity, and potential extensions.
• Lack of long-term carbon policy leading to potentially uneconomic investments.

Mitigation Strategies

• EAI continues to evaluate options for environmental compliance for its coal units.
• Ongoing work to determine necessary compliance technologies and timelines.
