Environmental Stewardship
We’re renewing our focus on biodiversity through a long-term commitment to be “nature positive” as a company. This means going beyond avoiding impacts and having no net impact on the natural environment—instead, it requires investing in projects, environmental initiatives and research, and partnerships to restore biodiversity across ecosystems and habitats.
We’re committed to making this transition through specific initiatives that are cost-responsible and prioritize collaboration. Work on longer-term goals is underway.
Environmental stewardship is essential to our business in many ways:
- We protect land and habitats through conserving threatened and endangered species and their habitats, safeguarding watershed lands that we have committed to preserve in perpetuity, and managing forested lands to minimize the threat of wildfires.
- Water remains a precious resource in California, and PG&E is committed to using it responsibly at our facilities and in our operations—and helping our customers do the same.
- We are reducing waste from our facilities and operations, while also addressing environmental impacts from our historic operations in accordance with today’s regulatory standards.
