Though he is no longer with us, his enduring impact lives on in every achievement and through the positive mark he made on society and the environment. His pivotal role in launching initiatives and programs that advanced sustainability and served our country is evident throughout this report.
“Our sustainability report highlights our positive impact on the environment and society by embedding sustainability into our business strategy through an eco-friendly framework built on three pillars: economy, people, and planet.”
