15 E.ON is determined to play a leadership role in this transition and is actively meeting these global challenges by: · setting tough environmental targets and halving, by 2030, our generation fleet's carbon intensity compared with 1990; in 2009 we achieved a 1.6 percent year-on-year reduction to 0.476 metric tons of CO2 per MWh · expanding renewables to about one third of our total generation capacity by 2030 and working to make carbon capture and storage commercially viable by 2020 · building more efficient fossil-fueled power plants, thereby reducing our climate impact compared with older, less efficient plants · helping our customers use energy more wisely through a wide range of products, services, and reward programs · devoting 17 million to university research into key energy technologies in 2009 · investing in LNG and natural gas to safeguard supply and to provide a lower-carbon alternative to oil and coal · engaging in an ongoing dialog with non-govern- mental organizations and other stakeholders so that we can continually reevaluate and refine our ideas and initiatives. Our commitment to exemplary corporate responsi- bility ("CR") is also about meeting challenges on a less global scale. For example, we promote early childhood education on responsible energy use and environmental protection through our Energy for Children program. We established the Environmental Champions program to support and encourage our employees to use resources efficiently and be more environmentally aware. In addition, we work to protect biodiversity at and near our facilities, foster a safety and health culture across our com- pany, encourage our employees to volunteer in their community, and provide assistance to our vulner- able customers. From global to local, we monitor our progress in these areas using key performance indicators and report on our progress regularly. Our CR reporting is conducted in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Global Reporting Initiative and the United Nations' Global Compact. Key reporting data are independently verified and audited.

In 2009, E.ON endowed the E.ON Chair in Corporate Responsibility at the European School of Management and Technology in Berlin. The endowed chair, which is held by Prof. C. B. Bhattachary, is a re- flection of our support for research into how CR can add value to businesses and society as a whole and for teaching the resulting insights to tomorrow's managers.
