Environmental performance is managed as an integral part of our
governance structure, from the board sustainability committee, to
the executive management committee (Exco) sustainability and
safety subcommittee. Accountable environmental managers and
environmental practitioners ensure the effective implementation
of environmental management systems throughout our business.
The current focus on securing continuity of supply, executing the
build programme and responding to climate change provides us
with environmental opportunities. These include introduction of
renewable technologies, expansion of our nuclear programme,
identification and implementation of internal energy-efficiency
projects, further expansion of water conservation programmes,
and conservation of land as a biodiversity offset.
Through this commitment, our objective is to ensure continual
improvement in our environmental performance by setting
environmental performance indicators and management systems
and ensuring the use of balanced criteria in our decision-making
processes. These commitments are set out in our safety, health
and environment policy.
Our environmental commitment continues to be based on the
efficient use of natural resources while controlling our activities
that impact on the environment.
Performance
Environmental performance is co-ordinated at an organisational
level and an overall picture of environmental performance is
maintained.

We continue to measure our performance against a number of
environmental parameters. Four of the most significant of these
are linked to targets set annually in the Eskom business plan.
Alarms and standards are set and measured against these four
measures as part of the operational health dashboard. |
