ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) released its latest climate report aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. The report highlights actions the company is taking to manage climate-related risks and transition to a cleaner energy future, achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045.
"Climate change is a critical issue for our customers, our communities, our nation and our planet, and we are committed to doing our part. That's why we have taken an even more aggressive approach to address climate impacts," said Marty Lyons, president and chief executive officer of Ameren Corporation. "In 2022 we accelerated our goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by five years, from 2050 to 2045 – all while safeguarding energy affordability, reliability and resiliency for our customers."
The report includes scenario analysis evaluating the alignment of Ameren's current science-based carbon emissions reduction targets, as outlined in its Integrated Resource Plan. Ameren's emissions reduction targets are consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and limiting global temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C. The analysis shows that Ameren's approach falls well within the range of scenarios that are aligned with this goal.
"As the climate risk landscape continues to evolve, we will work collaboratively with our key stakeholders so we can achieve our net-zero carbon emissions goal and preserve our shared environment," said Gwen Mizell, chief sustainability, diversity and philanthropy officer at Ameren. "We will continue to report on our progress toward this goal so we can reach Ameren's vision of a sustainable energy future for our region."

These statements include (without limitation) statements as to future expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, strategies, targets, estimates, objectives, events, conditions, and financial performance. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are providing this cautionary statement to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The following factors, in addition to those discussed within Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and elsewhere in this release and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results to differ materially from management expectations suggested in such forward-looking statements:
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement.
