STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Our ability to execute on our sustainability
strategy in a meaningful way requires input
from all our stakeholders. We actively
and regularly engage with a diverse set
of internal and external stakeholders,
including customers, employees, investors,
suppliers, communities, government
regulators and policy influencers. Input
from these engagements helps us shape,
advance and implement our sustainability
strategy and is reflected in how we are
striving to build a more resilient future.
We engage with these groups to keep them informed of our
efforts through a variety of channels, including in-person
or virtual meetings, internal employee engagement such
as well-being surveys and team conversations, annual
perception studies, customer satisfaction surveys, social
media accounts and community events.

We incorporate best practices and guidance from the following organizations:
