We acknowledge that we have a Corporate Social Responsibility to a diverse group of stakeholders, which includes shareholders, customers, Government, and business associates, employees, business partners, local communities, and society at large, as well as special interest groups that represent public interest concerns, such as NGOs and labor unions. Economic, environmental, and social impacts, as well as their management, will be considered in investment decisions.
Shareholder interests will not always take precedence over the interests of other stakeholder groups, and our business strategy is designed to promote social justice in the workplace and in our external relationships in the places where we operate.
