Williams Outpaces Industry Across Key Sustainability Rankings in 2022

Williams (NYSE: WMB) was once again recognized across several key rankings in 2022 – including CDP, Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), Sustainalytics and MSCI – for the company’s commitment to transparency and governance around climate change and other ESG topics. Williams was named for the third consecutive year to the DJSI North America index and for the second consecutive year to the DJSI World index.

CDP, another widely recognized disclosure and scoring process, gave Williams a ‘B’ score for its commitment to transparency around climate change. This ranking exceeds the oil and gas storage and transportation activity group average of ‘C’ as well as the North American regional average of ‘C’.

This is the third year Williams participated in the full disclosure and scoring process through the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire.

“These high ESG scores validate the emphasis Williams places on reducing emissions, maintaining strong corporate governance and preserving transparency with our customers, employees and shareholders,” said Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer of Williams. “As we continue to meet growing demand for clean energy while at the same time achieving industry-leading emissions reductions, our employees are motivated more than ever to solve the challenges society faces today around energy security, affordability and climate change. Williams has the scale, the strategy and the impassioned workforce to drive significant change for our industry in the years ahead.”
