PSEG Earns National Recognition for Corporate Citizenship and Community Impact

On Mar 18, 2026

Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) has been honored with three national distinctions: recognized as the JUST Capital 2026 Industry Leader for Utilities; ranked among the top 10 of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2026 by Newsweek and Statista; and named one of America’s Most Charitable Companies 2026 by Newsweek and Statista.

“We know many residents and communities are struggling and we take our responsibility as ‘public service’ very seriously. Working to make the communities we serve better places to live continues to be central to our business strategy,” said Rick Thigpen, PSEG senior vice president for Corporate Citizenship. “We are extremely proud of these recognitions. They demonstrate the pride our organization continues to have for being a solid partner to the amazingly diverse communities and customers we serve. We are proud to be acknowledged for treating our employees with respect and conducting our operations responsibly. None of this would be possible without our employees, whose hard work, generosity, and community spirit makes PSEG’s impact possible.”

Named Industry Leader for Utilities

PSEG was recognized as the top utility in JUST Capital’s 2026 annual rankings of leadership performance by national companies on a range of issues related to workers, customers, communities, the environment and governance. This ranking utilizes insights from polling to determine what the public prioritizes regarding corporate behavior and assesses over 900 companies based on a proprietary methodology. PSEG performed especially well in the areas of career development, charity and giving, human rights and opportunities for local businesses.

Among Top 10 Most Responsible Companies Nationally

PSEG was recently named in the top 10 of Newsweek and Statista’s America’s Most Responsible Companies 2026. The company ranked No. 9 on the list of 600 companies evaluated for their community support, sustainability initiatives and workforce benefits.

One of America’s Most Charitable Companies

Newsweek and Statista’s America’s Most Charitable Companies 2026 highlights organizations that demonstrate leadership in corporate philanthropy, transparency and community impact. PSEG’s inclusion reflects the company’s longstanding aim to strengthen the communities it serves, both through corporate social responsibility work and the PSEG Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3), an approach that helps support communities and PSEG’s long-term reputation in those communities.

In 2025, about 2,300 PSEG employees volunteered about 15,000 hours to organizations across our communities.

The PSEG Foundation has awarded nearly $138 million over the past 25 years to community partners. Over the past decade, PSEG has contributed an additional $40 million to community-based initiatives. In 2025, PSE&G and the PSEG Foundation together contributed $12.8 million to organizations across our service territory.

Across all three recognitions, PSEG’s focus remains the same: providing safe, reliable service, supporting the well-being of people and communities and maintaining the strong operational and governance practices that underpin long-term value creation and sustain trust in the services it provides.
