For the eighth consecutive year, TransCanada has been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) as one of the most sustainable companies in the world.

What does that mean?

It means that our overall approach to business allows us to achieve long-term shareholder value while honoring the basic principles of sustainability in everything we do. In short, we consistently balance corporate growth and our economic, environmental and social responsibilities.

TransCanada was one of only ten Canadian companies to make the 2009-2010 world index.

On a related note, we secured a spot on the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the fifth year in a row.

The DJSI assesses companies like ours according to six criteria:

• Climate change strategies;
• Energy consumption;
• Human resources development;
• Knowledge management;
• Stakeholder relations; and
• Corporate governance.

We are particularly pleased to receive this recognition because the DJSI criteria are an excellent reflection of our continual efforts to address the everyday needs of the marketplace while effectively managing the associated risks.
