Progress Towards Sustainability Goals

Image of dashboard rating scale

Using a three-point scale (exceeds, achieves or below), we use dashboards to rate our results in three critical areas — performance, people and planet. This chart provides a snapshot of our progress against sustainability goals across the company. The results are hyperlinked to information within our sustainability website that provides context to explain the rating. We update our progress annually in June. We are using the sustainability strategy adopted in late 2010 to evaluate our progress. As this strategy was not adopted until the end of the year and is a long-term strategy to 2020, some goals do not yet have any progress to report.
