 We have adopted environmental programs to address our Company’s climate-associated risks, including industry changes, market changes and emerging regulations. Since 2011, we have reported our climate-related risks to the Carbon Disclosure Project. We are aggregating our Scope 3 emissions data to reach our goal of being able to set climate science-based emission reduction targets in the future. Furthermore, through the formation of our Carbon Neutrality Action Committee, we are revisiting our renewable energy goals to ensure they are appropriately challenging, inclusive of the correct stakeholder contributions, and in line with our overall strategy.
