Many governments, regulators, investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on
environmental, social and governance considerations relating to businesses, including climate change and greenhouse gas

failure, by the Company to achieve its goals, further its initiatives, adhere to its public statements, comply with federal, state or
