Progress Toward Sustainability Goals

Image of dashboard rating scale

Using a three-point scale (exceeds, achieves or below), we use dashboards to rate our performance in key areas, such as safety and shareholder return. This chart provides a snapshot of our sustainability performance across the company. Information within each section of our sustainability website then provides more context to explain the rating. Follow the links inside the chart to find out more. We will update information and data annually at mid-year.
