Committed to our energy future - British Energy's CSR Report 2007/08

British Energy's fifth Corporate Social Responsibility Report focuses on the theme of commitment and how this is demonstrated across its operations. The Report is available online at www.british-energy.com/pagetemplate.php?pid=142 or hard copies can be ordered by e-mailing csr@british-energy.com.

The Report is based on the Business in the Community and Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, highlighting performance in the following key areas: marketplace, workplace, environment and community. There is a focus on customers, low carbon electricity, waste, and a long-term commitment to employees and local communities.

The Company's performance is measured through an extended set of indicators that covers its operations. British Energy has sought independent assurance of its performance monitoring process, and this year the materiality assessment has also been assured.
