Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated ("PSEG" or “Company”) takes an active role in the political process by communicating with government agencies and officials, participating in trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations, making political contributions and expenditures, and engaging in other activities to advance the interests of PSEG and its stakeholders.
Our goals are to contribute constructively to the formulation of public policy and to develop relationships of mutual trust with public officials, regulators, customers, community and NGO leaders, industry and business colleagues, shareholders and other important stakeholders. Our political spending is guided by these goals as well as our vision of a future where people use less energy, and the energy they use is cleaner, safer, and delivered more reliably than ever.
In addition, PSEG’s political participation is carried out in a lawful and ethical manner that builds our community, reflects responsible corporate citizenship, and fulfills our duties to shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders. Expenditures are made without regard to the personal political views of its individual officers, directors, and agents.
Finally, we align our lobbying activities and trade association participation with our operational needs and with policies that will enable us to invest in the economy, environment and infrastructure to make the states where we operate better places to live and work. We champion policies that help us fulfill our mission to provide an infrastructure to access safe, affordable, reliable and cleaner energy and to work toward a carbon-free economy. Our investments in electric transmission and distribution, gas system modernization to reduce methane leaks, energy efficiency, EV and EV charging infrastructure and numerous other efforts are covered in our Sustainability and Climate Reports and various other publicly available materials on our website.
