Our public benefit purpose is aligned with our efforts to advance the life-saving work of the principal industries we serve and to provide high quality employment opportunities. Equally important, as a PBC, our directors take into account an expanded set of concerns in the exercise of their fiduciary duties. Our directors have an obligation to balance the financial interests of shareholders, the best interests of other stakeholders materially affected by our conduct—including customers, employees, partners, and the communities in which we operate—and the pursuit of our PBC purpose. In our view, pursuing our public benefit purpose and considering the interests of our key stakeholders is the best way to build a durable business for the long term, which, we believe, is also in the best interest of shareholders. We publish this PBC report annually to provide a view into our PBC structure and how it reflects our Vision and Values, our work in pursuing our public benefit purpose and the objectives set by our Board of Directors, and how the consideration of stakeholder interests influences our decision-making and operations.
