The report covers GE's worldwide operations for the 2009 fiscal year and is structured around the discussion of three pillars of GE’s strategy - energy and climate change, sustainable healthcare, and community building. The report also includes an in-depth discussion on the relationship between business and society, and how GE’s people, products, and services help to enable prosperous and productive communities around the world.
