In particular, we have been able to improve emission efficiencies, create a better work environment, and increase transparency, to name a few. We are very pleased to be publishing our first-ever ESG Sustainability Report, which I believe will provide improved insights and context into the corporate actions and strategy across a number of areas that are vital to our business.”
