About This Report
This report reflects the company’s environmental activities and progress to our targets over the past year.
We highlight our objectives, results, accomplishments and business relevancy in the following four areas: Design the Future, Innovate to Zero, Inspire Global Collaboration and Performance. Whenever possible, we provide relevant environmental information for the corresponding time period for our operations.
We have expanded the scope and depth of the information reported in the Performance section, as our environmental programs have matured and expanded, and to reflect valuable stakeholder feedback. The data presented in our Performance section undergo an internal audit review to verify data collection and authentication processes. Additionally, the data representing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is verified by DNV Certification Inc. with limited assurance. More information about each data set is available in the corresponding footnotes located within the Performance section.
