1 018 Edison Electric Institute and American Gas Association ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template

2 EEI and AGA ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template Section 1: Qualitative Information Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, WEC Energy Group is one of the nation s premier energy companies, with subsidiaries serving energy customers in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan. We are a member of the American Gas Association (AGA) and Edison Electric Institute (EEI). We are participating in an initiative led by these organizations to promote consistency and transparency in sustainability reporting. This template is designed to make environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics and information more accessible to investors and comparable across the electric and natural gas sectors. Additional information on our ESG-related efforts can be found in our corporate responsibility reports, available on the website ( ESG/Sustainability Governance Sustainability is integrated into governance policies and practices across. To support an enduring enterprise, we manage shortand long-term risks and account for economic, environmental and social factors in our decisionmaking. Our board of directors oversees our risk environment and associated management practices. Our CEO regularly reports to the board on risk-related matters. The board and its committees routinely meet throughout the year to discuss these matters, and receives regular briefings from management on specific areas of risk. The board consists of five standing committees: Audit and Oversight, Compensation, Executive, Finance, and Corporate Governance. The Audit and Oversight Committee hears reports from management on our major risk exposures in regulatory compliance, environmental, legal/litigation, technology security (cybersecurity) and ethical conduct, as well as steps taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Finance Committee reviews our financial risk assessment and risk management policies, and provides oversight of insurance matters to support the proper function of our risk management program. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the board of directors should consist of at least a two-thirds majority of independent directors. As of Feb., 019, 1 of 15 directors were independent. To foster an enterprise-wide approach to identifying and managing risk, we have established an Enterprise Risk Steering Committee composed of senior-level executives. The committee regularly reviews our key risk areas and provides input to the development and implementation of effective compliance and risk management practices, including external audits. Social responsibility Our board of directors has oversight responsibility for human rights-related policies, including the Code of Business Conduct, while our senior vice president of human resources and organizational effectiveness and other senior management are responsible for the development and implementation of these policies. We educate all new employees on our Code of Business Conduct policies, which cover relevant aspects of human rights issues. All employees are trained on ethical standards, including diversity, anti-harassment and protection of consumer information. Environmental responsibility Our governance structure and practices support a strategic focus on environmental issues. Our CEO, in collaboration with our senior leadership, has specific responsibility for climate change-related strategies. The vice president environmental for the utility subsidiaries, in collaboration with the director air quality, manages tactical approaches to implement our climate change strategies and EEI and AGA ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template 1

3 reports to the board of directors on a quarterly basis. To promote collaboration across the enterprise on climate-related issues, our Greenhouse Gas Executive Committee meets on a quarterly basis. The committee includes company vice presidents and representatives of the Environmental, Power Generation, Wholesale Energy and Fuels, Corporate Governance, and Corporate Communications and Investor Relations areas. Responsibility for environmental compliance lies within our operating units and the Environmental department. Any significant noncompliance is reported to senior management. The quarterly report to the Audit and Oversight Committee includes the status of environmental compliance and any significant findings of noncompliance. Additional resources Management team Board of directors Audit and Oversight Committee Charter Code of Business Conduct ESG/Sustainability Strategy Business environment Our operations are more than 99 percent regulated, covering diverse service areas in the Midwestern United States, from the city of Chicago to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This regional diversity requires us to adapt to and plan for a variety of environmental, economic and regulatory factors. Storage is an important aspect of our natural gas business. Our natural gas storage facilities in Michigan and Illinois allow our companies to purchase supplies in summer months when prices are lower, improving the reliability and affordability of natural gas service during the region s long heating season. We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service, our electric and natural gas subsidiaries, follow a comprehensive approach to address electricity supply and reliability issues for their customers in a way that considers both the economy and the environment. Our reshaping of our generation fleet will balance reliability and customer cost with environmental stewardship. Taken as a whole, this plan should reduce costs to customers, preserve fuel diversity and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon emissions. Evolving business conditions have impacted our fleet reshaping plan. Relatively flat electricity demand growth in Wisconsin has combined with changes in natural gas, coal and renewable energy economics over the past five years to cause solar generation to increase significantly in efficiency and affordability. These factors have made solar a cost-effective option for our Wisconsin electric customers an option that also fits well with our summer demand curve. Meanwhile, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the need for a long-term generation solution that is reliable, efficient and flexible led us to invest in modular natural gasfueled generation. Our companies evaluate environmental impacts and environmental regulations, including regulation of GHG emissions, in all facets of their strategic business planning. Current GHG emissions regulation, as well future legislation or regulation that may be adopted, carries with it a wide range of possible effects on our energy business; therefore, we strive for the flexibility to address this variety of potential outcomes while ensuring a secure, lowcost and reliable supply of fuel for generating needs. Our electric energy companies build flexibility into fuel supply and transportation contracts to address climate change regulation. Risks and opportunities Our processes for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related and other environmental issues are integrated into multidisciplinary, companywide risk identification, assessment and management processes. We continuously monitor our assets as well as the legislative, regulatory and legal developments in areas of major environmental risks and opportunities. An example is the risk that legislative or regulatory EEI and AGA ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template

4 developments could affect the economics of operating some of our generating facilities. We are members of, and actively participate in, several industry organizations (such as the American Gas Association, EEI, Utility Air Regulatory Group, Utility Water Act Group and Utility Solid Waste Activities Group) that are involved in the legislative and regulatory process. As members of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), we leverage EPRI s research capabilities to pursue technical and policy opportunities in electricity generation and distribution innovation that address reliability, environmental and other risks. Current EPRI research projects will help us assess economic and technological trends and conduct scenario analysis for our companies, evaluating our potential GHG reduction trajectories in the context of the Paris Agreement s goal of limiting future global temperature rise to degrees Celsius. EPRI research is also expected to identify cost-effective and resilient strategies to produce and use clean energy to realize a greater potential for efficient electrification and GHG emission reduction for our electric companies. Our financial performance depends on the successful operation of our electric generation and natural gas and electric distribution facilities. The operation of these facilities involves many physical risks, including the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes. Potential breakdown or failure may occur due to severe weather, catastrophic events, significant changes in water levels in waterways, or operating limitations that may be imposed by environmental or other regulatory requirements. Our results of operations and cash flows also can be affected by weather conditions, which influence energy demand. To manage equipment-related risks and protect the safety of our employees and the public, we monitor natural gas and electric distribution lines. We complete risk analysis on our natural gas network annually and identify high-consequence areas. We have made significant reliability-related investments in recent years, and plan to continue strengthening our generation fleet and distribution networks. For example, the company created an equipment reliability index based on industry best practices to gauge our equipment reliability program performance, identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability, and gain the associated cost and performance benefits. Our natural gas infrastructure upgrade programs to improve safety and reliability have the additional benefit of reducing releases of natural gas to the environment. As a partner in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program, Peoples Gas is replacing cast and ductile iron natural gas mains with modern polyethylene pipes at an annual rate of at least percent for five years beginning in 017. The pipe upgrades are part of the company s System Modernization Program (SMP), a focused effort to replace,350 miles or about half of Peoples Gas natural gas delivery system. We further address the reputational and safety risks of our industry by proactively sharing electric and natural gas safety information with a variety of audiences, including students, teachers, families, contractors and first responders. On the demand side, we offer options to our customers that advance energy efficiency and affordability. We inform customers about home energy assistance through federal and state funding, and we offer weatherization services for some customers on our low-income pay plans. Programs for business customers include energy management services to improve efficiency in their operations. Two green pricing programs in Wisconsin allow customers to purchase specified amounts of electricity from renewable sources. Plans and progress Our companies environmental performance effectively demonstrates how environmental issues are integrated into strategic planning. In 000, we began to strategically reshape our portfolio of electric generation facilities, resulting in reduced environmental impact and improved environmental performance. Air quality control systems and other measures at our facilities have resulted in EEI and AGA ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template 3

5 combined sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury emissions reductions greater than 80 percent when compared to 000 emissions. We believe that our multi-emission reduction strategy will continue to achieve greater environmental benefit for lower cost. Since 011, when the SMP began, Peoples Gas has replaced 360 miles of its older natural gas mains and installed an additional 90 miles of mains, allowing for more retirements or replacements as the project continues. Reducing GHG emissions continues to be an integral component of our strategic planning process, demonstrating commitment to effective environmental stewardship while fulfilling an obligation to provide reliable, affordable energy for customers. As the regulation of GHG emissions takes shape, our plan is to work with our industry partners, environmental groups and the State of Wisconsin with a goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions by approximately 40 percent below 005 levels by 030. In addition, we have set a long-term goal to reduce CO emissions by approximately 80 percent below 005 levels by 050.

We plan to retire an additional 350 MW of coalfueled generation in 019. We have filed for approval to own our first 00 MW of solar generation, and two approved We Energies solar pilot programs may add up to 185 MW of generation. Additional zero-carbon generation projects are being actively developed. EEI and AGA ESG/Sustainability Reporting Template 4
