Achievements
• Analysis of guidelines available at the beginning of the study
– Sustainability Reporting Guideline (Global Reporting Initiative) V2
– Environmental Performance Indicator guidelines for the Australian
Electricity Industry (ESAA)
– Guidance notes on environmental benchmarking indicators for the
electricity sector (EA)
– Sustainability in the Electricity Supply Industry: Phase 1 Report
(WSDBC).
• Analysis of guidelines available issued during the study (late
2006 and early 2008)
– Sustainability Reporting Guideline (Global Reporting Initiative) V3
– GRI Electric Utility Sector Supplement – Draft version (GRI)
– Sustainability Reporting Guidelines & Electric Utility Sector Supplement
Pilot Version

References
• GRI V2 as best existing reference but as no
Sector Supplement were available, the WG had
to use others guidelines
• Issue of GRI V3 and a draft of the Electric
Utility Sector Supplement late 2006: Indicators
have to be reviewed, but 90 % of the work can
be considered as valid.
• Issue of a combined version of GRI V3 and the
Electric Utility Sector Supplement beginning
2008.

General comments
• Environmental indicators are specific to TSO, and have to
be distinguished from those dealing with generation. For
instance
– Waste (radioactive waste or ashes vs PCB, iron,concrete ...)
– Emissions (NOx, SOx, CO2 vs SF6)
– Significant spills (radioactive leaks vs oil leaks)
Important risk for TSO to have their environmental impacts
hidden by Generation ones.
• Other indicators should apply (Economic and Social)
whatever the company type (TSO, integrated utility,
Genco...)

Curitiba and Paris Achievements
• Indicators ranking during 2005 Curitiba
meeting in order to focus on the most
important ones:

– Social: 6 Indicators out 49 GRI Indicators
– Economic: 8 Indicators out 13 GRI Indicators
• Final draft report sent in July 2007, describing
in details the indicators, how to measure them,
and examples (GRI V2 compliant...)

Mossel Bay Achievements
• Analysis of the difference between GRI V2 and GRI
V3:
– Which GRI V2 selected indicators have been modified,
deleted ...
– Which GRI V3 indicators are new and are relevant
• Analysis of the Draft Electric Utility Sector
Supplement
– Which indicators are relevant
• Selection of the new indicators for the final report (6
from the GRI V3, 10 from Draft Electric Utility
Sector Supplement)

GRI V2 -> GRI V3 impact on the
previously selected indicators
• Major changes on Economic Indicators
• Small impact on other indicators
• See Excel file “WG GRIV2 selection vs GRIV3.xls
sent in September

GRI V2 -> GRI V3 impact on the
previously selected indicators
• GRI V2 Selected Indicators deleted in GRI V3
– GRI V2 EC4 Percentage of contracts that were paid in accordance with
agreed terms => No equivalent
– GRI V2 EN33 Performance of suppliers relative to environment. => No
equivalent.
– GRI V2 EN25 Impacts of activities and operations on protected and
sensitive areas => the information is now captured in other biodiversity
indicators particularly GRI V3 EN12 and 13.
– GRI V2 LA5 Practices on recording and notification of occupational
accidents and diseases => Included in GRI V3 LA7
– GRI V2 PR8 Mechanisms related to customer satisfaction => Included
in GRI V3 PR5
