American Transmission Company’s environmental commitment is built upon its core values – service to our customers, honesty, social responsibility, stakeholder inclusion, financial and environmental sustainability, and respect for its employees and customers.

ATC is committed to environmental leadership in all aspects of our business. We seek to demonstrate this commitment through the following six actions:

• Comply with all applicable laws, regulations and orders.
• Reduce environmental impacts of construction, operation and maintenance through the use of innovative practices, cost-effective technologies, and, where appropriate, environmental mitigation and enhancement.
• Involve employees in environmental stewardship through job responsibilities and encouraging volunteerism.
• Provide employees the tools to participate in environmental stewardship through education and training.
• Address transmission-related environmental issues proactively with regulators and other stakeholders through partnerships and collaborative working relationships.
• Develop and implement an environmental appraisal process to ensure ATC continues to meet its environmental goals.

ATC supports sustainable environmental policies and actions through balancing environmental stewardship with financial, engineering and maintenance requirements, and societal impacts. Pairing our environmental commitment with partnerships among regulators, stakeholders and employees provides a powerful venue for creative, innovative and entrepreneurial resolution of issues. Environmental stewardship translates into good business with the implementation of these philosophies.
