Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) journey began with our founding in 1992, and is rooted in our core values, including our unyielding commitment to care for each other, our planet and our communities. We believe long-term growth and success are achieved by sustaining and protecting our natural resources, empowering our employees and business partners, and demonstrating transparency and accountability. As such, we have identified what is paramount to our stakeholders, as expressed in our 13 material topics, and aligned them to our overarching priorities.
Responsible Business GrowthGrowing our business means looking beyond the bottom line with practices that ensure integrity, compliance and the protection of data.
Environmental StewardshipUnderstanding where and how we can reduce our environmental impact is a priority embraced across our organization.
Career, Culture & Equity for Our PeopleThere is no greater asset than our people. We have built a culture that embraces both openness and collaboration by striving to ensure safety, professional development and equity for all employees.
Social Impact & Community EngagementOur commitment of “caring for the world we carry” conveys our dedication to the places where our business takes us.
In 2019, we formalized our ESG strategy and policy, which outline our vision, priorities and management approach. The priorities we have identified are important to our business and our stakeholders, and are issues on which we believe we can have a meaningful impact in a cost-effective and efficient manner. In 2020 and early 2021, we reorganized our ESG material topics to align with our four overarching priorities and company values.
