Integrating Sustainability Into our Business

We understand that commitment to sustainability requires more than just words. We must be able to demonstrate that
we consider sustainability not only when developing our long-term strategy, but also when conducting our day-today
operations. For us to achieve our sustainability goals, we must fully integrate sustainable thinking into our
business model.

In 2009, our company demonstrated that sustainability considerations are integrated into planning and decisionmaking.
for the purposes of our internal rating system, sustainability considerations include activities that:

  1. Increase economic viability
  2. Ensure an injury-free workplace
  3. Promote the well-being of communities where we are located
  4. Conserve natural resources and energy
  5. Reduce environmental footprint
  6. Promote responsible and transparent product stewardship
