Our EHS policy and Environmental Management System set the framework, goals and objectives of our EHS activities. In addition, APS sets more specific goals in certain key EHS areas. These goals 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. Many of these goals and targets are discussed in various sections of this report.
In 2008, APS developed a new long-range business plan encompassing the years 2009 to 2013. This Business Plan identifies safety and the environment as two of our six core values and establishes specific goals and associated performance metrics for environmental and safety, including the following:
- To create a "zero incidents" culture & operating model with the associated performance metric of being in the top quartile of utilities nationwide in OSHA recordable injuries.
- To take leadership in connection with protecting the environment, with an associted performance metric of a 7 percent overall reduction in carbon dioxide intensity from APS generation in 2013 over the 2008 baseline.
Additional targets which were included in the 2008 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
