OUR APPROACH / OUR ESG APPROACH Our Stakeholders We want to know which ESG topics matter most to our business and to our stakeholders so we can be in a better position to understand and address impacts, risks and opportunities. Through formal and informal methods, we reach out to our employees, leaders, suppliers, investors and other key stakeholders for feedback in addition to our formal ESG materiality assessment process. Through our engagement with stakeholders, we aim to seek diverse perspectives and foster an environment where we take the time to listen first, be present and strive to make others feel welcomed, valued, heard and respected.
