GRI Index

GE is committed to the GRI G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (“The G3 Guidelines”), which continues to provide a valuable framework for GE’s citizenship reporting. Our 2010 citizenship reporting, which includes both the print 2010 Citizenship Report “Sustainable Growth” and the additional content on the GE Citizenship Web Site, applies a self-declared GRI Application Level A.

Through two sections — Part I: Reporting Principles and Guidance and Part II: Standard Disclosures (including performance indicators) — the G3 Guidelines provide a framework for organizations to report on their social, environmental and economic performance.

Part I Reporting

In compiling the content for GE’s 2010 citizenship reporting, GE applies the Reporting Principles for Defining Content — see our Reporting Process — and the Reporting Principles for Defining Quality:

Balance — provides both favorable and unfavorable results and covers a range of controversial issues relating to the application or misuse of GE products and services.

Comparability — provides metrics over a minimum of five years (less only when the information is not available) and includes a GRI Index.

Timeliness — publishes our annual citizenship reports at the same time every year with updates to the Web site as new issues arise.

Clarity — provides various formats for reporting to our stakeholders on GE citizenship activities through the summarized print report outlining our strategy and progress against commitments, and complementary online content, which includes metrics and graphics, perspectives and longer features.

Accuracy and Reliability — GE Internal Audit Staff have reviewed the metrics and claims made in the 2010 Citizenship Report. The report has also been reviewed and approved by GE senior management. Additionally, our Expert Advisory Panel offers year-by-year commentary and guidance on GE’s reporting.
