Kind to Animals
0
MGE Energy is a utility company that generates and distributes electricity and natural gas. Its core business model does not involve animal-derived products, animal testing, or animal husbandry operations under its direct control, leading to a score of N/A (0) for most KPIs. While the company supports peregrine falcon recovery with a nest box that has produced 35 offspring over 8 years and incorporates pollinator-friendly habitat, including approximately 140 acres at its Tyto Solar facility, there is no evidence of the percentage of revenue allocated to these initiatives, which is required for positive scoring tiers.
1
The company also uses sheep grazing for vegetation management at its Tyto Solar project, with a flock of around 70 sheep, and the supplier, Wiscovery Farm, is a certified organic farm.
2
However, this is a supplier's certification, not MGE's own animal agriculture operation.

The articles primarily focus on MGE Energy's financial performance, sustainability initiatives, and community engagement, with no mention of involvement in arms manufacturing, military contracts, or conflict facilitation
