Summary

The scope of the WG was to identify a set of Core Sustainability Performance Indicators specifically for power generation. To this end, the Working Group analyzed the sustainability performance indicators proposed within the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework as well as other performance indicators used in practice in detail with respect to their applicability to electric power generation. As a result, a list of recommended indicators and description of relevant information to be reported for each indicator is provided. The proposed set of Core Sustainability Performance Indicators may serve electricity generating companies as a guidance selecting relevant sustainability aspects and thereby meeting the requirements of the new GRI G4 guidelines focusing on sustainable impacts that matter, resulting in sustainability reports that are more strategic, more focused and thus, more credible.
