We have used the 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 2003 figures for environmental data will not be available until after the February 2004 report publication. We note these occurrences in the data tables and will update these sections of the report in mid-2004 when the data becomes available. We recognize challenges such as this and are looking for opportunities for continual improvement in 2004.
