The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines suggests a suite of universal performance measures that organizations striving to achieve sustainability can use to chart their progress. The higher our GRI Alignment Score, the closer we are coming to achieving the goal of sustainable reporting of our performance. BC Hydro will continue to strive to improve the reporting of our performance along all three bottom lines so that we may better track and to realize our vision to provide reliable power, at low cost, for generations.
