Stakeholder Engagement

As a public utility, the concerns of our local communities and customers have always informed our business strategy and corporate governance. We strive to listen to our stakeholders and the communities we serve, and work with them to tackle important issues, such as environmental concerns, and diversity, equity and inclusion, to make our communities better.

Ameren’s Stakeholder Engagement Approach

Ameren provides safe, reliable, affordable and cleaner energy that is foundational to the well-being and security of millions of people, as well as the economy of our region and country. Our stakeholders include our customers, employees, investors, suppliers, regulators, local government entities, NGOs and local communities. Ameren communicates regularly with our stakeholders to keep them updated on our business and our sustainability progress. We do this through regular meetings and engagement sessions, as well as our annual sustainability report and ongoing updates through local media outlets. We seek their feedback through direct outreach, during regulatory proceedings and in community forums.

In addition, we often meet with the public during new facility planning and construction, as well as for projects at existing facilities. We also ensure we engage with groups that have special interest in historic or natural resources.

Ameren Missouri’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process is a prime example of our stakeholder engagement approach. While developing our plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, we solicited feedback and dialogues with representatives of state agencies, consumer advocates and environmental advocates. We held a stakeholder workshop to present our key assumptions and data that would shape our plan and collected comments throughout the draft process.

Ameren also is working to develop an environmental justice policy, which will engage stakeholders to help us create proactive solutions to address potential environmental concerns.
