Diversified Energy Company PLC (LSE:DEC) is pleased to announce that ESG Investing awarded Diversified the Best Sustainability Reporting Award within the Basic Materials category as part of its 2022 ESG Investing Awards.

This recognition of Diversified's 2021 Sustainability Report reflects the Company's commitment to incorporate sustainability into the fabric of its financing and operating strategies, and highlights the Company's commitment to ESG reporting transparency within its Sustainability and Annual Reports.

We have actively increased the quantitative content of our reporting as we progress our efforts to identify, improve and monitor our ESG performance. We appreciate ESG Investing recognizing our comprehensive sustainability reporting.
