Ameren Corporation is a fully rate-regulated electric and natural gas utility that serves 2.4 million

electric customers and 900,000 gas customers in portions of Missouri and Illinois. Ameren

businesses consist of Ameren Illinois, Ameren Missouri and Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois. The company owns approximately 10,100 MW of total generation capacity.

Sustainability is an important consideration in setting the course for the operation of the company. An overview of how Ameren approaches sustainability is outlined in its Sustainability Report, "Our Sustainability Story: Customers at the Center,"issued in May 2020. Supporting data and information can

be found in other documents, like this the EEI AGA ESG/ Sustainability template, a framework that provides investors and other stakeholders with a view of environmental, social and governance (ESG)/sustainability metrics. Other resources to complement and provide a deeper level of information identified in the "Further Readings" include CDP Climate, CDP Water, Ameren's Climate Risk Report "Building a Cleaner Energy Future,"and the Investor Relations ESG Presentation "Leading the Way to a Sustainable Energy Future," among others at Ameren.com/Sustainability.

Approach to Sustainability

Ameren defines sustainability as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. We are measured on our sustainability quality through how we perform as a steward of the environment (E), how we manage our relationships with customers, communities

and workforce (S) and provide robust governance and oversight of our practices at the board of directors and management level (G). In addition, we consider growth an important aspect of sustainability. Therefore, in addition to the significant investments we will make in the coming decades, we have linked electrification to our growth plan. The company's plan will allow us to grow, decarbonize economy-wide and maintain customer affordability and system reliability.

Incorporating Sustainability/ESG Matters into Strategy and Risk Management

Ameren embeds Sustainability/ESG issues into its strategy and risk management practices. The company's long-term strategy is to invest in regulated energy infrastructure, continuously improve performance and advocate for responsible policies to deliver superior customer and shareholder value. This strategy is guided by and aligned with Ameren's vision "Leading the Way to a Sustainable Energy Future" and our mission "To Power the Quality of Life." Ameren operates in accordance with values consistent with those of a sustainable company including safety, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and stewardship, among others.

In addition, sustainability is integrated into operating and financial performance commitments that inform the day-to-day operations of the company. Ameren continues to execute on this strategy as it delivers value to stakeholders.

A key driver in the successful execution of Ameren's strategy has been the effective integration and management of risks associated with sustainability/ESG matters. Ameren's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework is comprehensive and identifies, evaluates and manages key risks across the entire business, including those related to Sustainability/ESG matters, i.e., climate change, carbon reductions, DE&I, supply chain, and ethics and compliance.

Oversight and Management of

Sustainability/ESG Matters

Effective governance of ESG matters is critical to the execution of the company's strategy. Ameren's board of directors oversees enterprise risks, including those related to ESG matters. It specifically delegates oversight of certain sustainability/ESG matters to several board committees.

In addition to the board-level oversight, Ameren embeds risk management of ESG at all levels of the company through its ERM system. Management-level oversight of ESG matters is comprised of the executive leadership team (ELT), the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Executive Steering Committee,

the Sustainability and Electrification department and the Risk Management Steering Committee (RMSC). The ELT oversees

the risk management, strategic planning and enterprise performance related to ESG matters, providing the ultimate oversight for sustainability. The Vice President of Sustainability and Electrification chairs the CSR Executive Steering Committee,

  1. cross-enterprisegroup of leaders that guides the company's ESG approach, and provides input and approval on key ESG disclosures, policies and initiatives. The RMSC, made up of senior officers from across several business segments, oversees the development and implementation of the ERM program.

Ameren outlines expectations for its senior financial officers in a Code of Ethics,which applies to the chief executive officer, the presidents, the chief financial officer, the controller, the chief accounting officer and the treasurer of the company, as well as officers holding substantially equivalent positions at any of the company's subsidiaries. The Principles of Business Conducthelp all co-workers understand the standards of conduct they must uphold and help them make ethical decisions consistent with the company's values.

Information Privacy: Ameren protects the privacy of its customers, shareholders, employees, retirees, and the users of our websites, mobile applications, and products and services in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Cyber Security: Ameren's efforts have focused on a robust cybersecurity awareness, prevention and response program that target all levels of the organization and addresses the actions co-workers should take to help protect Ameren as well as customers' personal information.

Responding to Environmental Issues

Ameren is committed to environmental excellence by integrating environmental management and sustainability principles into its operations, business planning and decision-making. Ameren facilitates environmental stewardship by working to reduce emissions and waste and to preserve natural resources as well as supporting innovative technologies to increase the use of various forms of clean energy and creates programs that allow customers to manage their energy use efficiently. Some of the company's efforts are outlined below:

Carbon Reduction: In September 2020, Ameren announced a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 across the entire enterprise. This commitment is supported by continued investments in existing carbon-free generation (Callaway nuclear and hydro), new renewable energy sources, energy grid upgrades, transmission infrastructure, energy efficiency programs and support for innovative technologies.

Climate Risk Management (Climate Change): Climate change is a critical issue for our customers, country, and our planet. Ameren's climate risk strategy involves taking action across our electric, natural gas and transmission businesses and managing reputational, financial, regulatory/legislative, and security risks. The company's strategy is presented in detail in Ameren's Climate Risk Report -"Building a Cleaner Energy Future."

Renewable Energy: Ameren Illinois and Ameren Missouri both actively promote renewable energyas well as numerous initiatives. Ameren Illinois helps connects community solar facilities to the electric grid and supports one of the most advanced utility-scale micro grids in North America. For the latest information visit AmerenIllinois.com/Renewables.Ameren Missouri offers opportunities for customers to participate in a clean energy economy with programs such as Community Solar, Renewable Choice, and Neighborhood Solar. Details of these programs are available at AmerenMissouri.com/Solar.

Grid Modernization: Ameren is investing billions of dollars in energy infrastructure to modernize the energy grid. Between 2020 and 2024, the company is expected to invest approximately $16B in infrastructure, making the grid stronger, smarter and cleaner consistent with Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Planand Ameren Illinois' Grid Modernization Action Plan. Additional investment in transmission infrastructure will enable cleaner energy resources, address customers' energy needs and create thousands of local jobs.

Energy Efficiency: Since 2010, Ameren's customers have saved an estimated $1.4 billion, thanks to energy-efficient upgrades. Over that same period, these Energy efficiency programs helped residential and business customers save more than 5,700,000 megawatt-hours of energy. In 2019, Ameren invested approximately $179 million in 2019 to fund both electric and natural gas energy efficiency programs across the company.

Electrification: Electrification supports better utilization of the electric grid, reduces carbon emissions and helps lower energy costs for all customers. The electrification strategy includes efforts on multiple fronts to implement policies, programs, and infrastructure investments, to promote and enable electric vehicle adoption. In 2020, Ameren led a coalition of six regional energy companies, committing to a first-of-its-kind Memorandum of Cooperation to work together to build a vast network of Midwest EV charging stations by the end of 2022. Through

the Charge Ahead program, Ameren Missouri incentivizes the building and installation of more than 1000 charging stations across its service territory. Ameren Illinois has filed an electric vehicle charging tariff to encourage EV adoption, charging station installation, and charging at appropriate times for the grid, as well as proposed legislation to provide charging infrastructure rebates. Company-wide Ameren has established a fleet electrification goal where 100% of new light-duty vehicle purchases by 2030 will be electric and 35% of the company's overall vehicle fleet (light-,medium-, and heavy-duty trucks, along with forklifts and ATV/UTVs) will be electrified by 2030.

Resource Management: Ameren's work to reduce emissions and waste, understand current and future availability of water within the Ameren service territory and supply chain, and preserve natural resources aligns with the company's

commitment to environmental stewardship. This stewardship is demonstrated by practices used to manage coal combustion residual (CCR) materials as the company transitions from wet ash handling to dry ash handling systems, resulting in savings of approximately 120 billion gallons of water in 2019. Ameren also demonstrates this stewardship in the remediation efforts at manufactured gas plants, industrial facilities no longer in operation previously used to produce gas from coal and oil.

Responding to Social Issues

Ameren is committed to driving positive social impact in the communities it serves. Delivering value to its customers while remaining focused on co-worker safety; being socially responsible and making an economic impact on its communities; and supporting its core value of diversity, equity and inclusion helps achieve this objective. Some efforts to drive social impact are discussed below.

Pandemic Response: In recognition of the hardships many customers faced, we established a dedicated COVID-relatedwebsiteto connect customers with vital information in March. For a period of time, both Ameren Illinois and Ameren Missouri voluntarily suspended service disconnections and forgave late payment fees. In addition, the company, including many of our 9,300 co-workers, contributed more than $15 million in energy assistance funds and COVID-19 support to our customers. Ameren established hardship grants, promoted ways customers can save energy while working or learning from home for longer periods each day, and donated to regional support organizations.

To protect our co-workers and our customers while maintaining safe, reliable operations, the company took several actions, including securing and supplying enhanced personal protective equipment, modifying work practices to include proper social

distancing, separating work crews and implementing robust health screenings.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I): Ameren co-workershave demonstrated over the years that we know how to take action, make change happen and have impact. These actions include making DE&I a core value. We implemented programs empowering co-workersto have courageous conversations with each other, as well as providing training for community organizations engaged in DE&I activities. We continue to make significant investments to further drive DE&I in our communities such as increasing the number of diverse suppliers.

In recognition of our commitment to create a workforce and culture that values everyone's uniqueness and differences, Ameren has been ranked by DiversityInc® as one of the nation's most outstanding companies for diversity and inclusion in several categories:

  • For the 12th consecutive year, Ameren was ranked as one of the top utilities for diversity and inclusion.
  • For the third year in a row, Ameren was ranked among the Top 10 regional companies for diversity and inclusion.
  • In 2020, Ameren was ranked in the top 10 for the diversity on its board of directors.

Philanthropy: In 2019, AmerenCares delivered more than

$10 million in philanthropic support in cash and in-kind donations to nearly 740 non-profit organizations across our service territory. Through 960 grants and fundraiser sponsorships,

the AmerenCaresprogramconcentrates on community needs, investments in community transformation, economic advancement, and meeting basic human needs.

Safety: Ameren is focused on safety as a part of our core values. In addition to comprehensive safety standards and mandatory regular health and safety training programs, Ameren also has a company-wideco-worker to co-worker (c2c) safety interaction program. This program is a procedure for hazard identification and risk assessment that encourages and prepares co-workers to have meaningful two-way conversations when observing an at-risk behavior or condition and/or giving positive feedback on an observed safe behavior or condition. The importance of c2c interactions are reinforced by inclusion in the performance management process and by being tied to incentive compensation.

Co-worker Recruitment and Engagement: To facilitate professional development of our co-workers,Ameren values and promotes ongoing learning and inclusion, and encourages co-workersto engage in opportunities to grow their capabilities. Ameren drive inclusion across the organization by leading many best in class initiatives including our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), building a diverse workforce for the future, educating our co-workers,and supporting initiatives to build strong communities. Ameren leverages partnerships, including community and educational partners, to create skilled, diverse talent pipelines. Pipeline programs, such as the Collegiate

Intern/Co-op Program and the Skilled Craft Education Program, enable Ameren to attract and nurture prospective co-workers to become full-time employees.

Stakeholder Engagement: Ameren takes advantage of multiple opportunities to engage its key stakeholders. Ameren engaged with stakeholders as a part Ameren Missouri's Integrated Resource Planning process, which resulted the establishment in both a net-zero carbon emissions goal and a plan for the transformational addition of new wind and solar generation. Other engagements focus on creating the opportunity for information sharing and feedback, such as the annual Community Voices Workshop, which allows two-way dialogue between Ameren and community leaders. Additionally, Ameren meets frequently with representatives of state and federal agencies, such as the Missouri and Illinois Departments of Natural Resources, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, among others. Both Ameren Illinois and Ameren Missouri hold numerous outreach sessions to provide energy savings and resource availability to vulnerable customers many times each year.

  • The 2005 data provided for (2) Net Generation and (5.1) Owned Generation excludes information related to the energy centers Ameren divested in late 2013 and early 2014 but includes information related to our Meredosia and Hutsonville Energy Centers, which were closed prior to 2015. The 2005 data for (1) Owned Nameplate Generation Capacity was not available for Meredosia or Hutsonville Energy Centers. All other 2005 data in Section 2 of this report does not include amounts related to the Meredosia or Hutsonville Energy Centers or the divested energy centers.
  • Owned generation totals, which exclude all purchased power attributable to a long-term

wind purchased power agreement, are as follows:

  • Refueling and maintenance outages at the Callaway Energy Center occurred in 2005, 2016, and 2017.
  • Wind is purchaced generation. All other generation is owned.
  • The 2005 data provided includes capital expenditures applicable to our rate regulated electric and gas utilities.
  • Energy efficiency measures are not applicable as programs did not exist in 2005.
  • An increase in the level of 2015 spend was caused by Ameren Missouri's energy efficiency programs, with the increase resulting from the anticipated December 2015 termination of the programs, without any certainty of continuation. The level of 2016 spend and annual savings reflect a renewal of Ameren Missouri's energy efficiency programs in March 2016.
  • The 2005 data for (5.1.1.1) Total Owned Generation CO2 Emissions (MT) and (5.1.2.1) Total Owned Generation CO2e Emissions (MT) utilizes 40 CFR, Part 98, Subparts C and D methodology and emissions data collected in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR, Part 75.
  • Purchased power carbon dioxide data includes estimated emissions from market purchases for internally consumed power. The intensity data includes energy from Ameren Missouri's long-term wind purchased power agreement.
  • Count provided is as of December 31st of a given year.
  • Water data has been expanded in 2018 to include that used for our combustion turbine generation (CTG).
  • In 2005, the scrubbers at the Sioux Energy Center were not installed. In 2015 through 2017, gypsum was not beneficially utilized.
  • N/A for 2005 due to lack of requirements to report these data and existing limitations in retroactively accessing and calculating data from business units that may have historically been under different ownership for this data year.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this report not based on historical facts are considered "forward-looking" and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed. Although such forward-looking statements have been made in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that the expected results will be achieved. These statements include (without limitation) statements as to future expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, and financial performance. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are providing this cautionary statement to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The following factors, in addition to those discussed under Risk Factors in Ameren's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results to differ materially from management expectations suggested in such forward-looking statements:

  • regulatory, judicial, or legislative actions, and any changes in regulatory policies and ratemaking determinations that may change regulatory recovery mechanisms;
  • the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impacts on our business continuity plans and our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity, including but not limited to changes in customer demand resulting in changes to sales volumes, customers' payment for our services and their use of deferred payment arrangements, future regulatory or legislative actions that could require suspension of customer disconnections and/or late fees, among other things, for an extended period of time, the health and welfare of our workforce and contractors, supplier disruptions, delays in the completion of construction projects, which could impact our planned capital expenditures and expected planned rate base growth, Ameren Missouri's ability to recover any forgone customer late fee revenues or incremental costs, our ability to meet customer energy-efficiency program goals and earn performance incentives related to those programs, increased data security risks as a result of the transition to remote working arrangements for a significant portion of our workforce, and our ability to access the capital markets on reasonable terms and when needed;
  • the effect and duration of Ameren Illinois' election to participate in performance-based formula ratemaking frameworks, which, unless extended, expires at the end of 2022, for its electric distribution service and its participation in electric energy-efficiency programs, including the direct relationship between Ameren Illinois' ROE and the 30-year United States Treasury bond yields;
  • the effect on Ameren Missouri of any customer rate caps pursuant to Ameren Missouri's election to use the plant-in-service accounting regulatory mechanism, including an extension of use beyond 2023, if requested by Ameren Missouri and approved by the MoPSC;
  • the effects of changes in federal, state, or local laws and other governmental actions, including monetary, fiscal, and energy policies;
  • the effects of changes in federal, state, or local tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or rates, including as a result of amendments or technical corrections to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and challenges to the tax positions taken by us, if any;
  • the effects on energy prices and demand for our services resulting from technological advances, including advances in customer energy efficiency, electric vehicles, electrification of various industries, energy storage, and private generation sources, which generate electricity at the site of consumption and are becoming more cost-competitive;

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events.
