The EcoStar grant programme will target community-based projects that fit into one or more of five stewardship categories: pollution prevention, education and outreach, energy efficiency, conservation and community activism.
Paul Allen, senior vice president of public affairs at Constellation Energy, said: “Environmental stewardship is one of our foundational values and a guiding principle behind many of the investments we are making to link our employees to the communities in which Constellation Energy does business.
“The EcoStar Grant program is the latest addition to our multi-pronged strategy to make the environment cleaner by advocating for measures to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, expanding our clean energy sources, investing in a smarter energy grid and supporting the organizations working to make a difference in our communities. We are committed to enhancing our support for organizations such as these, both through our contributions and through the volunteer work and leadership of our employees.”
EcoStar grant programme joins a range of initiatives, donations and grants targeting the company’s key areas of focus – energy, education, economic growth and the environment.
