Economic Bottom Line: 2003/04 BC Hydro/GRI Comparative Index
Economic Indicators
BC Hydro's economic indicators provide the financial picture of the company. They measure direct economic impacts to customers, suppliers, employees, and provider of capital (the Province of BC). Performance against targets established in BC Hydro's Service Plan is measured each year, and performance is benchmarked against relevant industry standards and historical performance, where they exist. Consistent with a triple-bottom line approach to business, BC Hydro also attempts to measure the indirect economic impact of our activities.
