Environmental, Social & Governance Data
CenterPoint Energy’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Data Center reflects our commitment to transparency by regularly reporting our ESG and sustainability performance and data in a central location. The Data Center informs our stakeholders of our progress on issues that are most relevant for our business and identifies areas for continuous improvement.
Our voluntary ESG performance is also mapped to commonly used frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Index, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards, and the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and the American Gas Association (AGA) ESG/sustainability reporting template.
