We are proud to continue our longstanding commitment to protect the planet, treat people with dignity and respect and do the right thing. Although the world faces continued challenges, we’ve seen people in our company and around the world come together to innovate, achieve greater diversity and inclusion and take significant steps to combat climate change. This gives me hope and strengthens my commitment to the work we’re doing to create lasting change.
