Our ESG goals currently remain organized under the previously established pillars: Compliance and Ethics; Diversity and Talent; Health and Safety; Philanthropy; Environmental Sustainability; and Quality. In addition, we have selected six priorities of focus that directly link to our Company mission, vision and values. The priorities are: Responsible Supply Chain; Talent Attraction; Retention and Engagement; Waste in Operational Processes; R&D for the Environment and Climate Strategy.
