An evolution of strategic growth and technological advancements
PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EQT Corporation has released its new online 2018 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report “Journey Beyond the Horizon.” This report details EQT’s achievements and progress toward its sustainability efforts during fiscal year 2017, highlighting the Company’s management approach, performance, and strategic focus on continually strengthening its corporate social responsibility commitments to investors, leaseholders, local communities, employees, and the environment.
In early 2017, EQT conducted an assessment to strategically guide its sustainability reporting – and through this evaluation, identified several key areas believed to be important to the Company’s various stakeholder groups. EQT’s seventh annual CSR report, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards – Core option, addresses the economic, environmental, and social topics identified in the assessment.
This year’s report theme, Journey Beyond the Horizon, is both an account of the Company’s considerable progress during the last several years and a preview of EQT’s plans for continuous improvement in the areas of responsible environmental stewardship, sound governance, and sustainability. “We will continue to incorporate lessons learned and best practices to enhance our operations and reporting strategies, while remaining focused on the safety of our employees, contractors, and communities,” said Lew Gardner, General Counsel and Vice President, External Affairs for EQT Corporation.
