Sustainability Report

Published annually, the Sustainability Report provides transparent communication about our sustainability management and explains the values, strategies and performances during the reporting period. The report focuses on the major social and environmental issues, it highlights our achievements in these areas and it sets goals for the future. These objectives are the result of the increasing involvement of top management in defining future goals directly related to the four challenges identified in our policy for sustainable development (environment, people, market, community).

Edison’s Sustainability Report has been prepared in accordance with the reporting guidelines defined by the Global Reporting Initiative. The information included in the 2014 edition has been aligned to the G4 standard and includes in addition to the indicators provided in the "Electric Utilities" sector supplement also those from the "Oil & Gas" sector. This is to specifically highlight the reporting of the part of our business in the hydrocarbon sector. The sustainability report is also our Communication on Progress for the UN Global Compact (advanced level).

The breadth and quality of reporting of the various topics reflects in particular the principle of materiality. In 2014, we updated our analysis and evaluation of the impacts of our activities in order to focus on the most relevant and significant issues for the company and for all stakeholders. This represents the first step of the transition path to the new GRI G4 standard, which Edison has started to incorporate in respect to the demand for greater disclosure about our supply chain, publishing for the first time new data and quantitative performance indicators. The process and results of the materiality analysis are explained in the report. Based on the current coverage of the Specific Standard Disclosure indicators associated with the material aspects, Edison declares its adherence to the GRI-G4 standard to be at “In accordance” – “Core” level.
