1 GRI Index Table - compliance table to GRI G3 guidelines The 2010 SKF Sustainability Report covers the reporting period January to December Since 2000, SKF has adopted the Global Reporting Initiative s reporting guidelines in its sustainability reporting. This Report is of no exception and is based on the G3 Guidelines where SKF reports on all Profile Disclosures, Management Approach, relevant Core Performance Indicators and itional Indicators. As part of the report content definition and the reflection of its materiality, all reporting indicators have been carefully evaluated and those that are considered of significant materiality in relation to SKF's economic, environmental and social impact, as well as its sustainability performance, are included in the Sustainability Report. Other indicator explanations, where the statistics compilations deviate from the indicator protocol specified, or that are considered to be of less material value to SKF s reporting, are provided in the G3 Index table below. These are marked with, adjacent to the indicators and the comments given. The principle of ensuring qualitative reporting in terms of accuracy, comparability, clarity, timeliness, balance, and reliability, is highly valued by SKF. To live up to this principle, SKF has been submitting its Reports for third party verification for more than 10 years.

Core EN8 Total water withdrawal by source. As the majority of SKF factories are located in industrial zones, water, to a large extent is supplied by municapalities. Thus SKF monitors total water consumption at operating units and not according to water withdrawal by source. SKF monitors water consumptions - p. 137 and the TRAR-environmental performance data.
