We are a people business                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 that depends on attracting and retaining high quality employees to continue our growth. To ensure we can attract and develop the best employees, we have partnered with trade unions to develop apprenticeship programs for craftsmen and technicians and                                                                                                                   
 with universities to create internship and co-op opportunities for engineering students. In 2024, approximately 1,000 apprentices and 185 engineering students gained on-the-job training experience and exposure to our company through our apprenticeship and internship programs. These programs allow us to identify future talent early, as well as expose prospective 
 employees to our company and culture in a more comprehensive manner than is possible through a traditional recruiting process. We also seek to build leadership skills in our existing employees through our Leadership Development Program, which                                                                                                                          
 includes leadership summits and training sessions to enhance skills and foster discussions of best practices across the organization.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
