The “materiality” thresholds of the guidelines and disclosure fra meworks that help inform the sustainability risks and opportunities disclosed in this sustainability and social impact report may differ from the concept of “materiality” (as defined by the U.S. federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)) that guides our disclosure of sustainability matters in our SEC filings, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Consequently, the use of the term “material” in this report should not be interpreted in the same manner as the use of “material” in our SEC filings, including in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
