1 PG&E includes an environmental compliance metric as part of its short-term incentive plan, an annual measure that impacts the compensation of all management employees. In 2010, the environmental compliance metric was PG&E’s rate of NOVs per 100 agency inspections. Starting in 2011, the metric will be the absolute number of NOVs; however, we will continue to monitor and track the NOV rate.
2 Energy use is measured in BTUs and the sites include offices and service yards.
3 Water use is measured in gallons and the sites include offices and service yards.
4 The six sites represented approximately one third of the waste produced by the buildings at PG&E’s offices and service yards.
5 Consistent with industry best practice and LEED™ certification criteria, the methodology for measuring this target was updated in 2011 to measure the diversion rate in the final quarter of each year rather than the diversion rate over the full calendar year.
