ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING
One of our more important stakeholder dialogues began in the
late 1980s with members of the Benedictine Resource Center
in San Antonio, Texas. It was as a consequence of those early
discussions that TXU began publishing an annual environmental
report of our activities and accomplishments. As a result, we
have the distinction of being one of the first large companies in
the United States to publicly report on our environmental
activities, a process that we continue today. We have continued
to dialogue with the Benedictine Resource Center and others
on various topics and shareholder resolutions. Our annual
environmental report and our commitment to stakeholder
dialogue are tangible benefits of these relationships.
DIALOGUE
Our Environmental Principles call for maintaining effective
dialogue with the full range of our stakeholders. We do this in
a variety of ways. We produce and make available written
materials, such as our annual environmental reports and
brochures on renewable energy and air quality. We include
information on environmental topics in our corporate
annual report and in our reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. We also provide environmental
information on the Internet

environmental reports.
Each year, we respond to hundreds of requests for environmental
information from a wide variety of stakeholders, including
shareholders, customers, environmental organizations, schools
and students and governmental agencies.
In 2002, we worked with the Texas Council on Environmental
Technology and supported the formation of the Governor’s
Clean Coal Technology Council. On a local basis, we worked
with several organizations on topics to address air quality in the
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, including the Texas Clean Air
Working Group, which consisted of representatives from Dallas,
Fort Worth and neighboring communities along with county
officials, businesses and regulatory officials. In addition,
we worked with the Northeast Texas Air Care group to address
air-quality concerns in that part of the state.
We continued a productive relationship with The Nature
Conservancy in 2002. We joined the International Leadership
Council of The Nature Conservancy to ensure that our
environmental perspective was enhanced by association with
international environmental leaders. We were able to donate surplus
