We work hard to measure and manage our environmental performance. But how do we
keep ourselves in compliance on an ongoing basis? How do we manage and minimize
water and energy use, waste and the impact of our daily activities on the environment?
We are implementing an initiative to conform to ISO 14001, an international standard
for managing environmental performance, which will supplement our ongoing environmental
programs. This is important to ensure that our future work force has the knowledge
and access to information needed to maintain compliance. We began implementation
of ISO 14001 at 12 power plants in 2007. Seven power plants and 17 hydro facilities
will begin Phase One implementation in 2008 as part of our
MESH initiative.
