Our ESG committee impacts company-wide strategic initiatives and decision-making.
Our cross-functional, executive-level committee tracks dozens of environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives and metrics across the company, providing strategic recommendations for enterprise initiatives to leadership. We challenge ourselves to improve targets and goals every year.
We use standardized data frameworks to benchmark and then challenge ourselves.
We report annual KPIs into the EcoVadis and CDP frameworks, and we’ve aligned our ESG principles and criteria to industry metric standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and the Task Force on Climate-Related FINANCIAL Disclosures. Every year, we set new targets, based on these benchmarks.
