Social Indicators
| Management Approach | We believe that our success is directly linked to the communities we serve. | |
| INDICATOR | TOPIC | RESPONSE |
|---|---|---|
| EU19 | Stakeholder participation in energy planning and infrastructure development |
We use a variety of collaborative processes and events to help plan and implement energy-related projects. An example is our ongoing work to proactively manage water resources through engagement with a wide range of stakeholders. See Water: A limited Resource in our 2010/2011 Sustainability Report for a discussion of our collaborative approach to water and watershed management. To spark thoughtful dialogue on U.S. energy policies, we launched www.sheddingalight.org, an education and advocacy Web site. Some of our international and national affiliations are available on our Web site but there are many more at regional, state and local levels. Also, please see indicator EU10 for a brief discussion of our integrated resource planning process. |
| EU20 | Management of displacement impacts | We avoid displacement of anyone to the extent feasible by careful planning during the siting phases of major projects. If displacement is unavoidable, we make fair compensation for any property transaction. |
| EU21 | Contingency planning for emergencies and recovery plans | We have internal teams responsible for emergency preparedness and response. Operations groups engage in emergency and disaster response drills and planning. One example, from our 2010/2011 Sustainability Report, addresses emergency planning for our nuclear fleet (click reveal for Dhiaa Jamil's I'm Accountable article). |
| Community | ||
| SO1 | Programs to assess and manage operational impacts on communities | We engage a wide variety of stakeholders from the communities we serve. See Stakeholder Expectations and Fulfillments. Environmental and social impact studies are conducted for major new facilities as part of regulatory approval processes. See also EC8 and EC9. |
| EU22 | Number of people displaced | Displacement is very rare. See EU20 above. |
| Corruption | ||
| SO2 | Percent and number of business units analyzed for corruption risk | All business units are subject to corruption risk analyses. |

All employees receive periodic training in anti-corruption policies and procedures through the Code of Business Ethics (CoBE) training. Newly hired employees are required to complete the CoBE training within 30 days of being hired. Employees who are likely to be involved in business dealings with foreign officials, oversee third parties acting on behalf of the company in a foreign country or who travel to foreign countries on company business; receive comprehensive training on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance and other anti-bribery provisions. |
| SO4 | Actions taken in response to corruption incidents | We report employee turnover, including the number of employee dismissals, in our Sustainability Report but we do not report the specific breaches leading to those dismissals. An analysis of incidents relating to employee fraud is presented at each Board of Directors' Audit Committee meeting. This analysis compares the number of incidents to the prior period, reviews incidents by allegation type and examines incidents by business segment. |
