  • Becoming signatories to the United Nations Global Compact
  • Adopting an Inclusion and Diversity Policy
  • Achieving a 17.3% increase in the percentage of new female hires and promotions and increased representation of women on our Board of Directors

This year's report also takes into consideration the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") reporting frameworks.
