EQT Releases 2025 Sustainability Report, “Built for What’s Next”

Company Sustains Net Zero Scope 1 & 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Upstream Assets in 2025 While Delivering Significant Economic Benefits to Appalachian Region 

PITTSBURGH, July 20, 2026 -- EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) today announced the publication of its 2025 Sustainability Report, titled "Built for What's Next," marking EQT's second consecutive year sustaining net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its upstream operations.[1] The report documents EQT’s record economic impact across the Appalachian Basin and outlines the role of Appalachian supply in meeting accelerating global demand for affordable, reliable and cleaner energy.

As part of the report, EQT also announced two new environmental targets that build on the company's previously achieved greenhouse gas emissions goals. EQT has committed to maintain net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its upstream operations and to maintain a company-wide methane intensity below 0.02%, reinforcing its commitment to continuous emissions reductions through operational excellence.

EQT President and CEO Toby Z. Rice stated, "We are operating in one of the most important moments in the history of energy. Global demand is accelerating at a pace not seen in decades, driven by the rise of AI, the reindustrialization of the United States and the growing need for energy security around the world. One thing is crystal clear: our energy system needs to be cheaper, more reliable, cleaner and bigger."

Rice continued, "Natural gas provides that foundation – delivering reliable, dispatchable energy when the grid is under stress, offering meaningful cost advantages for families and businesses and remaining the most effective pathway to reducing global emissions through coal displacement. Our mission remains unchanged: to deliver the world's best energy, and in 2025 we are proud to have sustained net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across our upstream operations for the second consecutive year, while connecting low-cost Appalachian supply to the fastest-growing demand centers — from U.S. data infrastructure to global LNG markets. EQT will continue to play a leading role in meeting the demands of this moment — delivering the affordable, reliable and cleaner energy the world needs.”
