Our ESG goals and pathways for reducing our operational emissions over time continue to evolve and may need to be restated, modified, or recalibrated as available data improves, as standards, methodologies, metrics and measurements mature, and as legislation, regulations, policies, and stakeholder sentiment evolve.
