Reporting on sustainability

Historical reports archive through fiscal 2016

BC Hydro was a member of the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA) Sustainable Electricity Program (SEP) up until fiscal 2016.

The SEP helps electric utilities take a holistic, triple-bottom-line, approach to managing impacts on the environment, society and the economy. As part of our participation, we reported every year on our sustainability performance, and the results were independently verified by an external verifier as directed by the CEA. In fiscal 2017, BC Hydro ceased being a member of the SEP program.
