Entergy Marks 25 Years of Local Sustainability Impact Through Fund
Entergy is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Environmental Initiatives Fund, established in 2001 to support local environmental projects. The company has invested nearly $45 million in community-based environmental improvements.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13, 2026 – Entergy is marking the 25th anniversary of its Environmental Initiatives Fund (EIF), a program established in 2001 to support environmental stewardship. The fund has focused on protecting natural resources, reducing emissions, restoring habitats, and enhancing community resilience across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
Through the EIF, Entergy shareholders have invested nearly $45 million in community-based environmental improvements. In 2025 alone, the fund provided $1 million to 11 partner organizations engaged in projects such as wetland restoration, tree planting, biodiversity education, and green infrastructure development.
"Reaching 25 years of the Environmental Initiatives Fund is more than marking time; it's a reaffirmation of a commitment our shareholders embraced long before sustainability was in the spotlight," said John Weiss, vice president of sustainability and environmental policy. "The EIF has allowed us to support meaningful projects that improve local ecosystems and advance environmental progress throughout our service area."
The anniversary highlights Entergy's early commitment to climate action. In 2001, the same year the EIF launched, Entergy became the first U.S. utility to voluntarily limit its carbon emissions. Today, the company operates one of the cleanest large-scale power generation fleets in the United States and is recognized as a leader in sustainability.
