Our Reporting
This integrated report presents Entergy’s 2015 economic, environmental and social performance. Further
detail is provided in Entergy’s GRI index and performance data table, which are available at entergy.com/
sustainability. In 2015, we applied for and received Application Level A verification from GRI, the highest
compliance level. We continue to review our reporting and disclosures and make improvements as
appropriate to offer greater transparency on Entergy’s performance to our stakeholders.
This report includes 2015 data from Entergy’s two primary business segments: utility and Entergy
Wholesale Commodities, both of which operate entirely within the United States. Assurance of financial
data in this report comes from our internal controls over financial reporting, which Entergy management
assesses annually using criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an attestation
report on the effectiveness of Entergy’s internal control over financial reporting as of Dec. 31, 2015.
Our 2015 greenhouse gas inventory was verified by an independent third party in accordance
with international standards (ISO 14064.1) in early 2016. The GHG inventory is available at
americancarbonregistry.org and entergy.com/environment.
