 be able to adhere to our sustainability targets and any failure to do so may present adverse consequences to our business. The Company annually establishes sustainability targets to, among things, manage current and emerging material sustainability issues, which include targets relating to decarbonization (refer to the 2025+ Sustainability Targets section of this MD&A for details). The Board of Directors has the discretion to determine the sustainability targets being adopted by the Company and may modify or cancel any previously established sustainability target at any time. The Board of Director’s determination to establish, alter or cancel any sustainability target will depend on, among other things: the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; results of operations; technological considerations; financial condition; market opportunities; legal, regulatory and contractual considerations; and other relevant factors. Further, there is no certainty that the Company will be successful in achieving any particular sustainability target within the stated time frame, or at all. If we are not able to achieve, or adhere to, our sustainability targets, we may not satisfy our stakeholders’ current and future expectations, which could negatively impact our reputation and could result in certain investors being unable to hold our common shares. Many of our activities and properties are subject to environmental regulations, and any liabilities arising under these requirements may materially adversely affect our business. Our operations are subject to federal, provincial, state and local environmental laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the generation and transmission of electrical and thermal energy and surface mine reclamation (collectively, environmental regulations). These environmental regulations pertain to pollution and the protection of the environment, health and safety, and govern, among other things, air emissions, water usage and discharges, storage, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials, and remediation of sites and responsible land use. These laws and regulations can impose liability and obligations for costs to investigate and remediate contamination without regard to fault, and under certain circumstances liability may be joint and several, resulting in one responsible party being held responsible for the entire obligation. Environmental regulations can also impose, among other things, restrictions, liabilities and obligations in connection with the generation, handling, use, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste, and can impose cleanup, disclosure or other responsibilities with respect to spills, releases and emissions of various substances to the environment. Environmental regulations can also require that facilities and other properties associated with our operations be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. In addition, the relative stringency of environmental regulations can reduce or decline based on political direction, resulting in potentially unstable
