On the next pages, we give our basic approach to sustainability as a concept and describe how we make sustainability
a fundamental part of our operations. In establishing ourselves as an independent company, we have embedded sustainability
into our day-to-day processes and the overall structure of our company. At the management level, our Sustainability Board
and its operational arm, the Sustainability Office, guide our growth. Our Sustainability Policy, is fully endorsed by our
Executive Management Team, as is our near-term Sustainability Plan, which includes specific targets to be achieved by 2010.
The next pages also provide a broader view of who we are as a company. We discuss our approach to risk management,
and highlight our primary areas of business. We outline our governance structure, define our reporting standards,
and summarize the many ways we address the stakeholder community.
