FPL Group scored the highest ranking in the U.S. and second globally in a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report that analyzed 72 of the world's leading power companies reviewing current use of available technologies to reduce CO2 emissions, as well as clear commitments made for future improvements.

FPL Group, parent company to Florida Power & Light Co. and FPL Energy, is among the first U.S. power companies to become a WWF PowerSwitch! Pioneer, which includes a commitment to support limits on national CO2 emissions.  "By joining this program we have supported a key business strategy: to be a clean energy provider with a demonstrated record of environmental excellence," said Randy LaBauve, vice president of environmental services, for FPL.

WWF released the report, entitled Ranking Power, in November 2004.  Through a press statement, WWF US Climate Change Program Director Katherine Silverthorne said, “Florida Power and Light and other PowerSwitch! Pioneers are proving that power companies can do the right thing for the environment and their bottom line at the same time.”

In 2003, FPL Group was presented with the prestigious Edison Award, the electric power industry's highest honor.  Platts, the energy information and market services unit of The McGraw-Hill Companies presented FPL Group with a 2003 Global Energy Award as "Renewable Company of the Year" for its clean energy portfolio.
