Protecting and enhancing our reputation and social license to operate is a significant element of sustained financial success. Our corporate responsibility reporting is one mechanism we use to demonstrate our performance to our stakeholders.

We continually evaluate and strive to improve the accuracy, completeness and reliability of our measurements and reporting. To reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship, we are not creating a printed version of our 2009 corporate responsibility information, our corporate responsibility report will be made available online only.

We have two main objectives in tracking and reporting our corporate responsibility performance:

• to provide relevant and timely information so stakeholders can make independent assessments and informed decisions about our corporate responsibility performance
• to track our performance to drive the continuous improvement of our corporate responsibility programs

Our data is independently reviewed to help us achieve the goal of accuracy, completeness and reliability.

We look at internal and external factors to determine the information we report and as standards change or expectations evolve, so does our reporting. You can find an index of the GRI Indicators we have addressed in the Performance Data, this website and other external documents, policies and practices.
