We may refer to the term "material" and define it as potentially having a direct, substantial impact on the ability to create or preserve economic, environmental and/or social value for our businesses and their stakeholders. The word "material" should not be equated to or taken as a representation concerning "materiality" of any particular sustainability factor under U.S. federal securities laws or any similar legal or regulatory regime globally.
