The journey continues Our purpose to Power an Inclusive Future for All is a never-ending journey—one constantly refueled by new opportunities to pursue and new challenges to overcome. In this year’s Purpose Report, we share our progress over the past year and our work ahead. This report contains forward-looking statements regarding future events. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Readers are cautioned that these forward- looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Several of our environmental metrics were updated in April 2022 based upon completion of independent limited assurance. They are notated throughout with an asterisk (*).
