At El Paso Corporation, we have a profound respect for the environment. As the nation's largest interstate natural gas pipeline company and one of the largest independent natural gas producers, our operations span the United States, crossing the rolling hills of New England, the Southwestern deserts, the marshlands of the deep south, the Rocky Mountains, and the open plains of Texas. Many of our 5,500 employees work in the field each day, and they take great pride in preserving the terrain they touch for their communities, their families, and themselves. We know that our job is to be good stewards of the environment, and we take our responsibility seriously.

Our employees, from the board room to the plant floor, are also committed to meeting the nation's need for natural resources-like clean-burning natural gas-that each of us rely on every single day. These employees also share a vision for El Paso to be the place to work, the neighbor to have, and the company to own. As we move forward to develop and deliver vital new supplies of energy, we're committed to being good neighbors, to working closely with local communities, environmental groups, and regulators to develop projects in an environmentally-friendly manner.

On the following pages, you'll see examples of our successes-projects and initiatives that strike a balance between energy development and environmental stewardship. From air quality to land rehabilitation to protecting butterflies, you'll see that we're focused on doing our part.

El Paso Corporation. The place to work, the neighbor to have, and the company to own.
