The GRI guidelines provide a voluntary reporting framework used by organizations around the world as the basis for sustainability reporting. We are using the G3 standards, as well as the new Electric Utility Sector Supplement. We have listed page numbers for indicators discussed in our printed 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report.
