"Our commitment to social responsibility is woven throughout our organisation and ingrained in our values," said Gregory Spierkel, chief executive officer. "We have a legacy of innovation, and we're proud that we're one of the first of our peers to publicly measure and promote our responsibility efforts. I credit our associates, who took it upon themselves to recycle, volunteer and foster an energetic work environment long before it was popular. We hope this report offers opportunities to further engage our associates, customers, business partners and other stakeholders in the benefits of a thriving responsibility programme."
