We are pleased to share our progress and commitment to responsible business. In 2023, we continued to make significant strides in our corporate governance, including beginning our first comprehensive risk assessment and establishing a Company-wide ERM Program, submitting our science-based GHG emissions targets to the SBTi, and piloting a Sustainable Supply Chain Program, which includes surveying our key suppliers on their own emission reduction targets and strategies.
As we look ahead to 2024, we will be updating our 2021 Materiality Assessment. We understand the power of active listening, and by renewing our Materiality Assessment, we remain aligned with the interests of our key stakeholders.
