    Avangrid ranks 12 overall, earning top marks on ethical leadership, climate change, customer treatment and more

    Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE:AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today was recognized for the fourth consecutive year on the annual JUST 100—a list of America's best corporate citizens published by JUST Capital and its media partner CNBC. This year Avangrid earned the top rank among utilities, up from second in 2023, and improved its overall ranking to 12, up from 45 in 2023, for its commitment to serving its workers, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders.

    To receive the number one ranking in the utility industry, Avangrid earned leading scores on key issues, such as human rights, community development, ethical leadership, customer treatment, transparent communication, beneficial products, climate change, workforce advancement, and sustainable materials.

    "It is a huge honor to earn the leading rank among utilities in this year's JUST 100," said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. "Every day, our team comes to work ready to serve our customers, communities and stakeholders in an ethical and just way. This recognition is a testament to that dedication across our organization—from human resources and procurement to customer service and communications. The entire Avangrid team puts our core values into practice daily."

    The JUST 100 Rankings are the only measure of how the nation's largest corporations are performing on the business issues that matter most to Americans. The issues – which include paying a fair, living wage, creating jobs in the U.S., supporting workforce retention and training, providing benefits and work-life balance, protecting customer privacy, minimizing pollution, and more – are defined annually by an extensive nationwide polling process done on a fully representative basis.

"That's exactly what the JUST 100 are doing. They show that just business is better business."
