PSEG to Launch Sustainability Report to Further Explore Community and Operational Impact

While the Impact document focuses on PSEG's statewide economic and community footprint, the forthcoming 2026 Sustainability Report will provide a comprehensive view of the company's industry leading sustainability program, highlighting PSEG's work to strengthen the communities we serve, operate responsibly and support a more reliable energy future.

The Sustainability Report, which will launch in the coming weeks, will explore areas such as workforce development, support for our communities, environmental stewardship, customer affordability and support, and the role of our nuclear plants. It will also offer new insights, feature stories about employees and initiatives and provide detailed data on PSEG's work.

Examples of data found in the 2026 Sustainability Report:

Our overall sustainability efforts, including the achievement of a 95% reduction in operational emissions from the 2005 baseline
Our waste management practices, including that in 2025, more than 91 percent of all waste generated by the utility was recycled
A look at the impact our $1.5 million December 2025 Community Relief initiative had on the nonprofit partners who received funding

Together, the 2025 Impact document and the upcoming Sustainability Report provide a broader view of how PSEG cares for customers, communities, employees and the state of New Jersey while helping build a more reliable and sustainable energy future.
