Sustainability report

This year the new interactive version of the Sustainability Report has been launched. The new tool will enable to improve dialogue with stakeholders, that is our core mission. Edison views its Sustainability Report as a tool to communicate how the Group manages its social responsibility and provide a complete and balanced presentation of its values, strategies and performance during the reporting period. The Report is also a management tool that can be used to monitor the Group’s sustainability performance and set improvement goals for the future.

The 2010 Sustainability Report was prepared in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines developed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in 2006 (G-3), integrated with the additional disclosures required by the Electric Utilities Sector Supplement, as approved in 2009. This standard is internationally recognized as the best practice in sustainability reporting. 

Edison chose to follow a gradual approach in adopting the GRI Guidelines and plans to add to the Report new indicators of social and environmental performance each year. In 2010, the Group again achieved the A+ level in the implementation of the Guidelines. The Sustainability Report is published each year and is distributed to the Board of Directors concurrently with the presentation of the Annual Report, which this year occurred February. It is also distributed at the Shareholders’ Meeting.
