Copyright © 2016 by Business Roundtable E • GROW • SUS REAT TAIN C 2016 REPORT People and Technology at Work April 2016 DEAR BUSINESS LEADERS AND STAKEHOLDERS: On behalf of the members of Business Roundtable, I am proud to share with you our 2016 sustainability report — Create, Grow, Sustain: People and Technology at Work. Now in its ninth year, the report features narratives from 133 CEOs on how their companies have contributed to sustainable economic growth and a cleaner environment in the United States and around the world. At American Electric Power (AEP), we believe that good business and sustainable environmental practices go hand in hand. For our company, that means harnessing people and technology to safeguard the environment while delivering affordable, reliable electric power to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. Our sustainability achievements include investing more than $7.5 billion in environmental control technology over the last 15 years and reducing smog-generating emissions by more than 80 percent since 2001. Of course, AEP’s story is not unique. Across the board, Business Roundtable companies have put people and technology to work to deliver the extraordinary sustainability successes of the U.S. economy in recent years. One sign of that success is the substantial economywide increase in U.S. energy efficiency. Energy use per dollar of U.S. economic output decreased an average of nearly 2 percent per year between 1992 and 2012, and according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, this powerful trend is poised to continue. More efficient energy use cuts energy costs for households and businesses, which benefits the economy and the environment alike. There are compelling stories behind these impressive trends. They involve people and technology working together to push our sustainability efforts even further. We have included a number of these stories in this year’s report. From tracking threatened wildlife using footprint identification technology; to using wastewater from yogurt to produce electricity; to recycling more water, energy and material with each passing year, our companies are on the leading edge of solving today’s sustainability challenges with a robust mix of technology and human ingenuity. I hope you enjoy reading this report and learning more about how U.S. companies are providing solutions to our greatest sustainability and quality-of-life challenges. Sincerely, Nicholas K.
