Our EHS policy and Environmental Management System set the framework, goals and objectives of our EHS activities. In addition, APS sets more specific targets in certain key EHS areas. These targets are integrated into corporate and departmental level business plans, and are included as part of employee performance reviews and as a component of corporate incentive pay.
In 2005, APS developed a new long-range business plan encompassing the years 2005 to 2010. This Business Plan identifies safety and the environment as two of our six core values. The Business Plan establishes specific short- and long-term corporate targets for environmental and safety, including the following targets to be met by 2010:
Safety
- To achieve the number one ranking among like-sized investor-owned utilities for OSHA recordable injuries (all injury incident rate, lost work incident rate and severity incident rate) (current results discussed in our Employee Safety section of this report)
Environmental
- To reduce carbon intensity by 10 percent in year 2010 from a year 2000 baseline (current results discussed in the Climate Change section of this report)
-
To implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs at the Cholla and Four Corners Power Plants (current results discussed in the Air Emissions section of this report)
- To meet environmental portfolio standard requirements for renewable energy (current results discussed in the Renewable Energy section of this report)
Additional targets which were included in the 2007 employee incentive plan include:
-
Reportable environmental incidents
-
EHS related fines
-
CEMS availability
-
Number of environmental self-assessments completed
-
Number of recordable OSHA injuries
Each business group set individual goals for the above and achievement of those goals direct directly to employee incentive payments. These environmental goals are set annually and reviewed for improvement at the end of each calendar year
