Physical climate risks — such as extreme weather conditions and events of increasing frequencies, persistence, intensity, and/or severity — may damage property and infrastructure, disrupt global supply chains, exacerbate infectious and respiratory illness, and threaten food and water security, which in turn impacts health and economic stability.
As global efforts to address climate change may vary in progress and by accomplishment, we recognize the need to adapt quickly to realized events that directly affect our operations, changing regulations that affect our business, and stakeholder expectations that influence our business strategy, product development, and brand reputation.
Therefore, we continually strive to mitigate our negative impact on the environment and continuously monitor the impacts of climate change on our business, our stakeholders, and society. Our Global Enterprise Sustainability policy and Global Operations EHS policy set forth our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and conserve resources, like energy and water. In addition, our enterprise-level environmental impact goals and targets cover short, medium, and long-term time horizons and can be found in our annual Impact Report.
