From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including on this website, and in other communications. Forward-looking statements on our website include, but are not limited to, statements relating to economic or sustainability-related objectives, vision, ambitions, commitments, goals, and targets as well as potential events and actions.
