commodities purchased for use in our supply chain . we manage our exposures through a combination of purchase orders , long-term contracts with suppliers , exchange-traded futures and options , and over-the-counter options and swaps . we offset our exposures based on current and projected market conditions and generally seek to acquire the inputs at as close to our planned cost as possible . we use derivatives to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices . we do not perform the assessments required to achieve hedge accounting for commodity derivative positions . accordingly , the changes in the values of these derivatives are recorded currently in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of earnings . although we do not meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting , we believe that these instruments are effective in achieving our objective of providing certainty in the future price of commodities purchased for use in our supply chain . accordingly , for purposes of measuring segment operating performance these gains and losses are reported in unallocated corporate items outside of segment operating results until such time that the exposure we are managing affects earnings . at that time we reclassify the gain or loss from unallocated corporate items to segment operating profit , allowing our operating segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility , which remains in unallocated corporate items . unallocated corporate items for fiscal 2019 , 2018 and 2017 included: .
