We hope that this ESG report has given you a fresh understanding of the integrated and comprehensive nature of ESG issues in our culture and business model. The process has deepened our resolve to keep these priorities on the top of our agenda. We are better prepared than ever for a dialogue about these issues, and we will make periodic updates to our ESG strategy and activities in the future.
