Performance

		"This year we have met several of our reporting goals: increasing the breadth of data and information we publish, and the frequency at which we collect data. The extent of information in this year's report is just one example of our continual improvement." Aimee McCord, Program Manager, Environment and Social Responsibility Report

We have used the August 2002 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines as the framework for this report. The GRI Guidelines are widely recognized as offering a standardized structure for the presentation of economic, social and environmental impact information. We join many other companies in using the GRI as a voluntary reporting framework. This facilitates easier comparison both within our industry and across different sectors. Because we cannot provide quantitative data for all areas, we have sometimes used qualitative information and case studies to demonstrate our activities and progress.

Compiling this type of data on a global basis is a significant challenge for the company. Due to the timeline for reporting, some figures for the fourth quarter environmental data are estimated. We recognize challenges such as this and are looking for opportunities for continual improvement in 2003.
