33 ACCELERATING IMPACT Chemicals of Concern We launched our Chemicals of Concern (COC) program in 2020 in response to concerns from the public, NGOs and government entities over the use of potentially hazardous chemicals and industrial products. The program aims to screen all our food contact materials for the use or presence of COC by 2025 and take action to eliminate their use whenever possible. Since no single authoritative list of COC exists, we have been developing our own list based on several publicly available materials and our evaluations. Initially, over 1,000 chemicals were identified. We are currently refining the list of chemicals to focus on those relevant to the food contact materials we use. Once the list is finalized, we will begin evaluating the composition of our food contact materials and determine where COC are used or present. Where they are used or present, we will collaborate with our suppliers to either substitute the COC in the material, obtain third-party expert confirmation of the safety of the COC in the finished article or eliminate the material. 33 FAST-TRACKING PROGRESS FOCUSING ON OUR CORE OUR PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES REPORT OVERVIEW REPORTING STANDARDS SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY FROM OUR CEO WHO WE ARE
