Essential Utilities Inc. submitted its 2024 CDP Corporate Questionnaire response, providing an overview of its environmental reporting and risk management strategies. The report covers data for the year ended December 31, 2023, and outlines the company's approach to identifying and managing environmental dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities.
The company defines short-term environmental horizons as 0-12 years, medium-term as 13-27 years, and long-term as 28-57 years, linking these to strategic and financial planning. Essential Utilities also detailed its primary use of plastics in main replacement activities, noting limited alternatives and the need to balance environmental concerns with resiliency, customer affordability, and operational safety.
The report highlights Essential's value chain visibility, including direct customer relationships and awareness of Tier 1 and in many cases Tier 2 suppliers. It also states that a full mapping of the upstream supply chain for several tiers is infeasible due to the breadth and complexity of its utility structure.
