Report Strategy

ENMAX Corporation's second annual online corporate responsibility report, entitled "Empowering our Communities", discloses data from January 2008 through December 2008 and has been prepared in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Third Generation (G3) Guidelines.

We wanted the information in this report to address matters of key interest to our stakeholders. In consultation with our employees, we developed an internal list of potential topics for inclusion. We ranked issues based on two criteria: stakeholder interest and business impact. High and medium-ranked issues are covered in this report. We are tracking and managing lower ranked issues internally, and will report on them in the future should they increase in interest and impact.

The scope of this corporate responsibility report includes ENMAX's Alberta-based operations and the activities of our subsidiaries, including our BC- based operations. All financial data is presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated and all numerical data are presented using the metric system.

ENMAX's 2008 Corporate Responsibility report has been prepared by ENMAX based on data derived from internal sources. We've added Disclosures on our Management Approach for each of the categories required by the GRI-G3. In addition, a third party independently reviewed selected information in this report, including our internal carbon footprint, energy consumption, sponsorship and community investments, employee lost time and recordable injury rates and employee turnover. ENMAX self-declares this report a level B+ based on the criteria for GRI Application Levels.

The accuracy and completeness of the data we present in our corporate responsibility report is a priority for ENMAX.

Note: The following are corrections to data reported in our 2007 Corporate Responsibility Report published online in June 2008:

• ENMAX miscalculated the total hours volunteered to the United Way campaign in 2007, overstating the hours by 1,680 hours. As a result, an adjustment was made to reflect the actual hours volunteered. 
• In 2007, ENMAX incorrectly reported its lost time injury frequency rate as 3.44; it should have been reported as 0.29.
• In 2007, several of the values for materials purchased and recycled were either transcribed or calculated incorrectly; these values have been corrected in our 2008 report
