EQT Releases 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance Report

EQT Corporation, the largest producer of natural gas in the United States, announced the publication of its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, highlighting the Company's significant progress in achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, as well as its leadership in advocating for natural gas as an affordable, reliable and clean energy source for the U.S. and the world.

"In addition to our own positive ESG performance and significant emissions reductions, EQT inserted itself into the global conversation about the critical role natural gas plays in arresting climate change and providing energy security and independence to our allies. The benefits of affordable, reliable, clean natural gas are being recognized both domestically and internationally," said Toby Z. Rice, President and Chief Executive Officer of EQT Corporation.

Rice continued, "We are at a critical point in history. The decisions made over the next decade will shape the trajectory of our efforts to make meaningful progress in global emissions reduction. International coal is the leading source of carbon and methane emissions worldwide and it is getting worse. We believe replacing international coal with American natural gas via LNG is the largest green initiative on the planet and the world's best weapon to fight climate change, while simultaneously addressing energy security and affordability."
