Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Constellation Energy leads as the nation's largest emissions-free energy producer for 11 years, generating 10% of the U.S. total. It targets 95% carbon-free electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040, backed by a $900 million green bond for nuclear projects. Ranked 9th on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies, Constellation increased charitable giving by 50% to $18.7 million, aiding diverse populations. Certified as a Great Place to Work, 81% of employees are satisfied, and 70% earn living wages. However, reports suggest potential employee training and communication issues. Critics point to an alleged lack of clear AI ethics governance for its use in high-frequency trading and nuclear operations, and nuclear waste storage remains a significant challenge.
