Sustainable communities
Exelon is a valued corporate citizen in the communities we serve. Helping
customers reduce their carbon footprint is an essential part of that role.
ComEd and PECO are helping customers with everything from discounts
on CFL bulbs to energy audits and real time pricing programs.
Exelon also leads by example. We are on pace to surpass the voluntary
eight percent reduction in emissions we set for ourselves back in 2005
under the EPA’s Climate Leader program. We intend to establish even
more aggressive carbon reduction targets for the future. Our recently
renovated headquarters in Chicago is the largest LEED Platinum certified
renovation in the world and has reduced our electricity consumption in
that building by 50 percent. We have done enormous work in restoring
natural habitats on our utility rights of way and around our generation
facilities. We are promoting efficiency in schools throughout our service
communities and we’ve funded and designed the solar-powered Exelon
Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Exelon has been named to the
2007-08 Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for our economic,
social and environmental performance. And for the third consecutive
year, the Carbon Disclosure Project has named us to the Climate
Leadership Index.
