2022 Adjustments As part of our annual materiality review, we collected and evaluated stakeholder feedback from investor meetings and TeamMember surveys, reviewed relevant external research and framework development, and performed a peer assessment. Findings validated the materiality matrix published in our 2021 report; therefore, our material topics remained the same in 2022. In 2023, we will reach the middle of our 2021– 2025 reporting cycle. As defined in our materiality process, a comprehensive assessment is planned to reevaluate material topics. This reevaluation may include stakeholder engagement, sentiment analysis and modifications to our model for determining impact significance and ensuring consideration of relevant human rights-related impacts, as required in the updated GRI 3 Material Topics standard. Issue Management The ESG topics identified through our materiality process are prioritized for management and disclosure. Topics are mapped to our corporate responsibility platform, ensuring they are reflected in our strategy and addressed in our ESG Report. An overview of our company’s impact related to each material ESG topic can be found in the graphic to the right.We provide the scope of each impact, including whether the impact is made directly by the company and our subsidiaries or indirectly through our suppliers and partners. Human Rights We understand that our materiality assessment must evaluate our activities and business relationships to capture their impact on the economy, environment and people, including human rights, so that we can prioritize areas of concern for mitigation. Currently, our assessment captures two salient topics in the area of human rights: human trafficking and discrimination and harassment. We also recognize that other topics represented in our platform are directly or indirectly related to human rights, including health, safety and wellbeing; diversity, equity and inclusion; sourcing; low-carbon transition; water stewardship and biodiversity. In alignment with our Human Rights Statement, we will work to understand the potential for additional human rights impacts in future assessments.
