Operational ImpactsOptimizing the environmental impact of our operations is central to our environmental commitment. During the past year, we established an environmental policy, an environmental management system, and a governance model that integrates environmental impact considerations into business decisions across the company. Our impacts reflect the diversity of our business activities. Climate change is a focus area, and our main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are employee business travel, energy use in our facilities, and employee commuting. We are working to reduce materials use and waste generated through our daily business activities as well as product packaging and distribution. And we have the potential to influence the environmental performance of our vendors through our purchasing decisions. We are striving to better understand and improve our performance in all of these areas. |
