“Doing the right thing is core to who we are, and we embrace the responsibility to deliver sustainable value for all stakeholders,” said Chair, CEO and President Judy Marks. “Our 2022 ESG report demonstrates tangible progress toward each of our 13 goals outlined in four key pillars: Health & Safety, Environment & Impact, People & Communities, and Governance & Accountability. These four pillars align with our Absolutes of Safety, Ethics and Quality and are central to the success of our business strategy in driving strong financial results and making positive impacts in the communities where we do business.”
