We consider transparency and verification essential to corporate social responsibility reporting. The development of this report and the measurements within it were guided in consultation with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), a leader in corporate social responsibility research and consulting. As we continue to evolve our reporting efforts, we will use the principles developed by the Global Reporting Initiative, the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework, as our guide. The content of the report is consistent with our
corporate governance principles and commitment to transparency.
