Cameco has released Benchmarking Environmental Performance, the company’s new, easy to read, report to the community about the conversion facility’s emissions.
The first copies of the report were given to the participants at Cameco’s day-long community forum on health held October 21st at the Town Park Recreation Centre in Port Hope.
The 26-page report includes information and detailed charts on Cameco’s emissions and its compliance with both provincial and federal regulations. In addition to explaining in everyday language what Cameco’s emissions are, the report puts the amounts in perspective by comparing them to other sources of the same emissions. It also contains information on Cameco’s commitment to environmental sustainability, its recycling programs, and its Vision 2010 project.
“This style of report is a first of its kind for us and will answer many of the environment-related questions we receive from the community,” said Bob Steane, vice-president, fuel services division.
“We have been submitting quarterly reports to the municipality on our emissions and that will continue. This document is designed to take complex environmental information and make it as understandable as possible for people in the community.
“The report has two objectives. First, to provide the community with the most recent information we have in key categories of our environmental performance. Secondly, to set benchmarks so that as Cameco moves forward we are able to track improvements. We will use these measures to build an environmental performance scorecard that demonstrates our performance and progress,” Steane said.
