NEW ORLEANS, April 7, 2026 /3BL/ – Entergy today announced the publishing of its 2025 Performance Report, “Energy for a Better Future,” detailing the company’s achievements last year and the strategic priorities guiding its path forward on behalf of customers and communities. The report includes financial performance as well as updates on local economic development, environmental stewardship, support for the communities we serve and governance practices that support positive outcomes for all stakeholders.

“After a dynamic and productive 2025, Entergy continues to advance the energy solutions our customers and communities depend on,” said Drew Marsh, Entergy chair and chief executive officer. “From modernizing the electric grid to expanding generation resources, we are committed to partnering with our stakeholders to shape a more resilient and sustainable energy future.”

Highlights from 2025 include:

Driving growth in our region. We are an engaged partner in economic development for our region, helping attract or expand 85 economic projects last year. These projects represent a capital investment in local communities by companies totaling more than $77 billion and more than 12,000 new jobs. In support of that growth, we added electric service agreements totaling more than 3.5 gigawatts last year.

Maintaining a resilient power grid. We’re actively at work on projects designed to deliver more reliable power — fewer outages and faster restoration when needed — to our customers. Through the end of 2025, our operating companies have invested more than $800 million in approved accelerated resilience projects.

Strengthening affordability for our customers. We are committed to keeping bills as low as possible for all our customers, especially for those who struggle financially. We promote energy efficiency initiatives that help individual customers save money by reducing their usage. This includes energy audits, incentives, rebates and products to make people’s homes or businesses more energy efficient. Our Bill Toolkit empowers customers with resources and available assistance options to help them more easily manage their energy bills.

Empowering our communities. Giving back to our communities, and empowering them, is at the core of our mission. Our focus on corporate social responsibility last year made a meaningful difference in the lives of our customers and communities, resulting in an economic impact of more than $145 million across our service area. Our dedicated employees were vital to this success, contributing 169,000 hours of volunteer service, valued at $5.8 million. That highlight of our commitment was reinforced by being recognized by Points of Light as an honoree of The Civic 50 for the 10th consecutive year, leading the way in employee volunteerism and community investment.

Delivering on our financial commitments. Our 2025 adjusted earnings per share was $3.91, in the top half of our guidance range. We are investing in our power delivery system to improve reliability and resilience, and we are expanding our clean, modern generation to support rapidly growing industrial load and the clean energy goals necessary for our customers.

Key Takeaways

• Hybrid work presents a significant challenge for evacuation plans: When safety roles depend on specific people being present, remote workdays create dangerous gaps.
• Pen-and-paper manual systems can become bottlenecks that slow down critical decision-making under pressure.
• Shifting from departmental to compartmental thinking avoids the problem of placing responsibility on a single person and enables anyone in the building to help execute the plan. ‘
• Modern facilities like data centers, multi-tenant buildings, and high-rises each present unique evacuation challenges that standard plans rarely address.
• A strong evacuation plan protects people first and foremost, but it also safeguards your reputation, regulatory standing, and stakeholder trust when it counts most.

In the modern professional landscape, the traditional office is no longer a static environment. As organizations embrace flexibility, the foundational safety protocols that once seemed robust are now revealing dangerous cracks. If your role includes responsibility for a compliant evacuation plan, the first step is understanding exactly what you want to do with your people during an emergency.

The following exploration breaks down why traditional plans fail in a hybrid world and how a shift in thinking can protect your organization’s most valuable asset: its people.

The Hybrid Work Conundrum: When Your Safety Net is Working from Home

The acceleration into hybrid working environments has rendered obsolete the traditional methods for training staff to carry out specific emergency roles. In the past, evacuation plans often relied on “Fire Wardens” or “Floor Marshals” — specific individuals trained to sweep a department and report back.

However, training smaller, specific groups of people now leaves you at a significantly higher risk of having gaps in your plan. On any given Tuesday, your designated safety lead might be working remotely, leaving an entire wing of a building without an assigned clearing official. This creates a conundrum for EHS managers: do you leave your plan with these identifiable risks, or do you change your thinking entirely?

The High Cost of Guesswork: Lessons from a London Arts Complex

Not getting your evacuation strategy right leads to immediate confusion and potential tragedy. We experienced this first-hand during a meeting with the on-site team at a world-renowned arts and cultural complex in London. While the team was robustly defending their existing process, an unplanned evacuation occurred.

We witnessed their system fall apart in real-time. The ensuing chaos revealed a plan founded on guesswork and luck rather than usable information. There was a visible lack of training and ownership, and the “clipboard and pen” method—which many organizations still rely on—proved to be a major bottleneck during the crisis. While this specific incident was a false alarm without lasting consequences, it served as a stark reminder: when things go wrong, getting the right information quickly is key.

A Case for Accountability: The Somerset House Success Story

In contrast to the chaos of manual systems, Somerset House provides a powerful example of modern preparedness. They had recently installed a comprehensive TagEvac system throughout their building, supported by online training to ensure everyone was ready.

When a significant fire occurred at Somerset House — an event that made international news — the system’s value was proven. Because the plan focused on a visual, accountable process rather than a person-dependent one, the building was managed effectively under extreme pressure. This success highlights the difference between a plan that looks good on paper and one that works when the alarm sounds.

Beyond the Office: Addressing Complex Safety Scenarios

Modern EHS planning must account for more than just a standard office layout. To build a successful and compliant plan, you must consider a variety of complex scenarios:

• Multi-Tenanted Occupancy: Coordinating between different organizations where safety cultures and evacuation protocols may vary.
• Data Centers & Secure Spaces: Managing lone workers in high-security data halls or environments where communication is inherently difficult.
• Warehouses & Tall Buildings: Navigating the logistics of clearing massive floor plates or coordinating vertical evacuations in high-rise structures.
• Evacuation vs. Invacuation: Ensuring your system can handle both clearing a building and “sheltering in place” during external threats.
• Contractor & Visitor Management: Seamlessly integrating people who are not part of your daily workforce into your safety protocol.

Shifting the Strategy: From Departmental to Compartmental Thinking

A major flaw in traditional planning is “departmental thinking” — the idea that safety is the responsibility of a specific group of people. In a hybrid world, you must transition to “compartmental thinking,” where the focus shifts to clearing physical zones of a building.

By using a visual system like TagEvac, you empower anyone — not just a trained warden — to confirm a compartment is clear. This removes the single point of failure and ensures the process remains consistent regardless of who is in the building that day.

The Business Case for Modernized Evacuation Plans

A compliant and successful evacuation plan is not just about safety; it is a critical component of brand and operational resilience. A robust plan allows you to:

• Maintain Corporate & Social Responsibility: Demonstrate a genuine commitment to protecting your “key asset” — your people.
• Avoid Brand Damage: Prevent the negative PR and loss of trust that follows a chaotic incident.
• Ensure Compliance: Stay ahead of regulatory requirements and avoid costly fines.
• Prove Value to Stakeholders: Show employees and customers that you possess the credentials and care to manage a modern workspace safely.

Conclusion: Stop Guessing and Start Preparing

In an era of hybrid work and evolving threats, “guesswork and luck” are no longer acceptable components of an Emergency Action Plan. The partnership between Antea Group and TagEvac is designed to eliminate these variables by combining world-class EHS consulting with a physical, accountable system that works every time. Now is the time to do the thinking and ask yourself “why?” Why rely on a clipboard when lives and business continuity are on the line?
