Corporate Political Activity Policy

FirstEnergy operates in an environment where legislative and regulatory policy heavily influences how we serve customers and operate our facilities. We have a responsibility to our customers, employees, and shareholders to participate in this process. FirstEnergy has implemented this policy and associated practice to ensure we are serving our customers, employees, and shareholders consistent with our values.

FirstEnergy participates in the political and public policy processes in a manner that emphasizes transparency and integrity, supports the diverse communities in which we operate, reflects our Company’s core values, and fulfills our responsibilities to shareholders and other stakeholders. FirstEnergy is committed to compliance with our Code of Conduct and with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations

FirstEnergy’s Political & Public Engagement Policy has been adopted to promote principled engagement by the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and those acting on the Company’s behalf. 

Industry Groups, Trade Associations and Related Organizations

FirstEnergy participates in trade associations and other industry groups, which allow the Company to work collaboratively with industry peers to address key public policy issues. FirstEnergy pays dues to these groups and regularly reviews the Company’s memberships to assess their alignment with the Company’s values and priorities. The Company typically does not make additional, non-dues contributions to support trade and industry groups’ political activities.
