KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Valley Authority announced Monday it has published its first Sustainability Report, providing a comprehensive look at the utility’s work to build strong partnerships and a more sustainable future for the region’s 10 million residents.
“Community partnerships are fundamental to the work we do, and this report reflects our commitment to leadership and innovation in communities across the region,” said Jeff Lyash, TVA President and CEO. “We are continuing TVA’s core mission of service as we drive progress while effectively addressing socioeconomic and environmental concerns.”
The report offers the public a more transparent, accessible look at the impact of TVA’s everyday activities. It also aggregates information from two other sustainability-related documents – the Federal Sustainability Report and Implementation Plan, and the Environmental, Social, and Governance Sustainability Report, a utility-focused and investor-driven reporting template.
The report highlights TVA’s 2019 performance, including these accomplishments:
“As the largest public power utility in the country, it is important for TVA to share its sustainability and community work to protect and preserve our Valley’s resources today and for generations to come,” said Rebecca Tolene, TVA chief sustainability officer. “Our 2019 Sustainability Report serves as a baseline for our annual corporate sustainability reporting. As our sustainability reporting program matures, we will continue to work with stakeholders and communities to identify and achieve their sustainability objectives.”
