About this Report

El Paso Corporation’s vision to be the place to work, the neighbor to have, and the company to own provides a framework for this report. In this, our second annual corporate sustainability report, we use that framework to describe the economic, social, and environmental impact of our business using the most current information available for calendar year 2008. We continued the theme from our 2007 report, Building a Legacy, because we believe that our commitment to being a responsible
corporate citizen is the foundation for our continued success. There have been no changes in the structure of our business that would warrant significant restatements of the information in our 2007 sustainability report. The report was prepared according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 guidelines and is available in three formats: as a poster outlining the key facts of our report; as an interactive
Web site at www.elpaso.com/csr; and as a downloadable file on our CSR Web site.

Scope

Our reporting covers assets operated by El Paso Corporation and its subsidiaries, which adequately reflects the company’s economic, environmental, and social performance or influence. When it is helpful to give more detail, information may be discussed by business unit (Pipeline Group, Exploration & Production Company), or Shared Services. Reporting boundaries for greenhouse gas emission were defined using the management control approach, meaning that 100 percent of the emissions from operations, facilities, and other sources under operational control
of El Paso in United States were reported. For all other measures, our impact is reported for El Paso as a whole. An employee advisory committee, made up of staff from across the organization, was assembled to provide input and review this report. The information included in this report is drawn from established systems within the company for performance tracking and reporting. As we develop new processes for tracking and reporting information in support of our business goals, we anticipate having meaningful information to incorporate in our corporate sustainability report.
