Our ongoing environmental programs are designed to not only reduce our operational impacts but also improve efficiency, lower costs and reduce risk, which  results in a more stable and sustainable business that benefits all our stakeholders. |

Diversity and Inclusion

The unique backgrounds and experiences of our employees help to develop a wide range of perspectives that lead to better solutions. Our staff’s diversity is reflected in our full-time employees where 23% are women and approximately 49% represent minorities, as of December 31, 2024.
