2022 IRAP: Progress on our commitments

We are proud of the progress made over the past two years. Since the 2022 IRAP was published, we have seen a shift occurring: what were once targets to strive for are now processes central to how we operate. While there is more work to do, we remain committed to continuing this journey.


Commitments achieved

12 commitments were achieved out of the 22 commitments outlined in our 2022 IRAP.

Of those 12 commitments:

5 were achieved and integrated; these 2022 IRAP commitments achieved over the past two years are now embedded in our corporate DNA. They form the new base standard for how we conduct our business, and we expect them to be continued as such in perpetuity. As such, they are not included in the IRAP Refresh commitment tables.

7 were achieved and ongoing; these 2022 IRAP commitments were achieved over the past two years and maintained in this IRAP Refresh with refreshed goals and details. These are identified in the IRAP Refresh commitment tables as “Refreshed” commitments.
