Ameren Focused Energy. For Life.

Environment

WHY do we demonstrate a responsibility to our environment?

Ameren’s co-workers live, work, lead and volunteer in the Missouri and Illinois communities we serve. As such, we care deeply about protecting our shared environment. That’s why we work to reduce emissions and waste, preserve natural resources, increase the use of renewable and other forms of cleaner energy, and create programs to encourage energy efficiency.

At the same time, Ameren must establish a balance between the benefits to the environment and costs that can impact our economy and our customers’ quality of life. We believe a sound environmental policy benefits all stakeholders by enhancing the communities we serve.

Priorities

  • Cleaner, more diverse power-generation sources
  • Responsible energy policy
  • Water conservation and quality
  • Reduced environmental impacts
Ameren volunteering by planting trees
Ameren Illinois volunteers plant a tree at the home of a Washington, Illinois, resident. About 30 volunteers from several area organizations participated in the third tree planting event since the November 2013 tornado that destroyed many trees in the community.
