SO1 Nature, scope, and effectiveness of any programs and practices that assess and manage the impacts of operations on communities, including entering, operating, and exiting. 1. Relevance Organizational operations such as entering, operating, and exiting have a number of significant impacts on the sustainability of a specific area. Indicators in the GRI Framework, such as environmental emissions or economic data, will offer an overall picture of these positive and negative impacts, but may not be able to break them down to the level of individual communities or geographic areas. As such, it is important to have a measure that reflects the approach used by the organization to manage its impacts, both negative and positive, systematically across the range of communities in which it operates. Stakeholders are interested in the robustness of the approach the organization applies to managing the impacts it has on a community. Thus, having reliable management systems in place can enhance the brand and reputation of the organization as a potential partner. It also simultaneously strengthens the ability of organizations to maintain existing operations and to initiate new ones. 2. Compilation 2.1 Report whether there are programs in place for assessing the impacts of operations on local communities: • Prior to entering the community; • While operating in the community; and • While making decisions to exit the community. 2.2 Report whether programs or policies define: • How data is collected for such programs, including by whom; and • How to select community members (individual or group) from whom information will be gathered. Indicator Protocols Set: SO 2.4 Report whether the organization’s programs for managing community impacts have been effective in mitigating negative impacts and maximizing positive impacts, including the scale of persons affected. Include discussions of programs related to: • Ways in which information is exchanged and local population is involved, prior, during and after the event and the provision for intervener funding for the local population; • Influx of workers and impacts on neighboring communities (including changes to local social structures and culture); • Changes to land-use including loss of global commons (e.g. access to land, natural resources, and heritage); • Impacts on infrastructure (e.g. roads, housing), and access to services (e.g. education, utilities, healthcare); and • Changes to the aesthetics and quality of the landscape. 2.5 Report examples of how feedback and analysis of data on community impacts have informed steps toward further community engagement on the part of the reporting organization. 3. Definitions Impacts of operations This refers primarily to social impacts, such as: • Community health and safety regarding infrastructure, hazardous materials, emissions and discharges, and health and disease; • Involuntary resettlement, physical and economic displacement and livelihood restoration; and • Local culture, gender, indigenous peoples, and cultural heritage. This definition excludes impacts covered by other Indicators, such as EN10 (water sources/habitats affected by water use), EN12 (areas with high biodiversity value), and LA8 (serious diseases). It also excludes voluntary contributions (in-kind and cash) to communities. EU IP & EUSS EU 2.3 Report the number and percentage of operations to which the programs apply.

The funding is provided by the regulatory body, the electric utility or the state. EU 4. Documentation Potential information sources include organizational policies and procedures, results of data collection from community programs, and analysis results of external stakeholder forums, joint community committees, stakeholder reports, and other inputs. Both internal and external sources and references should be used. 5. References None. EU 8 © 2000-2009 GRI
