ntergy has a long track record of
operating in ways that protect and
preserve our environment. In 2002, our
board of directors adopted an Environmental
Vision Statement that established commitments
in the areas of sustainable development,
performance excellence and environmental
advocacy. For more than 10 years, we have
invested in clean generation technologies
and pursued a comprehensive environmental
strategy that has delivered solid results.
Speaking from Experience
Our environmental strategy, known as
Environment2020, is focused on reducing our
environmental footprint, adaptation, proactive
compliance management, energy efficiency,
portfolio transformation and employee
engagement. We successfully completed two
voluntary five-year commitments to stabilize
our CO2 emissions, the first to year 2000 levels
and the second to 20 percent below year 2000
levels. In 2011, we made a voluntary 10-year
commitment to stabilize our cumulative CO2
emissions at 20 percent below year 2000 levels
through 2020, taking into consideration all three

The state amphibian of Louisiana, green tree frogs are
found in swamps, isolated wetlands, ponds, lakes and rivers
throughout the Southeast and into eastern Texas and southern
Illinois. Although green tree frog populations are fairly secure
throughout most of their range, destruction and contamination
of wetlands have likely reduced the size of their population in
these habitats.
