Constellation's ESG Principles
Our Value Proposition and ESG Principles
Constellation is positioned to deliver long-term value for our shareholders through our enduring businesses that are ready to meet the climate crisis. We are leading the transition to a carbon-free future as one of the largest providers of energy solutions to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers and the largest producer of carbon-free power in the U.S. Furthermore, our fleet is uniquely situated to be the reliable, baseline carbon- free energy source of the energy transition. We are proud of our history of actively working to reduce our emissions and improving the value, longevity and output of our assets through policy leadership, technology and innovation. Based on this foundation, Constellation is ideally suited to support our customers' ambitions to reduce their environmental impact and seek solutions to the climate crisis. Our disciplined capital allocation strategy supports a strong investment grade balance sheet, reinvestment in our business, growth investment consistent with our corporate strategy and return of capital to owners.
Our ESG principles are core to our business strategy and value proposition. Our values and ESG principles guide us in our central purpose. We are focused on driving action in these critical focus areas:

Nuclear Avoids Emissions and Contributes to
Constellation's Low Intensity Rates
- Nuclear is an emissions-free energy source - in 2022, Constellation's nuclear fleet avoided 123M metric tons of carbon emissions (1)
-
On a per MWh generated basis across our entire fleet in 2022, our
measured emissions intensity rates for NOX and SOX were below the U.S. electric generation industry average (2), and we have lowered our NOX and SOX emission rates each by 36 percent since 2019
Variable
Renewables
Long-Dated
Asset Life
Nuclear power can support higher deployment of variable wind and solar generation without the need for backup capacity from fossil fuel generation
Subsequent license renewals can extend carbon-free production from 60 to 80 years - more than three times the useful life of renewables and two times the useful life of coal
