About Our Sustainability Report
The metrics on this page are excerpted from our 2021 sustainability report, which includes updates on our sustainability strategy, performance, and related metrics, and should be read in conjunction with the full 2021 sustainability report covering our fiscal year 2022, which is the period from February 1, 2021, to January 31, 2022, with additional information on activities, where appropriate, through April 2022. Unless indicated or the context requires otherwise, all metrics cover our fiscal year 2022.
The goals and projects described on this page and in our sustainability report are aspirational; as such, no guarantees or promises are made that these goals and projects will be met or successfully executed. Furthermore, data, statistics and metrics included on this page and in our report are non-audited estimates, not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continue to evolve and may be based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation, but should not be considered guarantees and are subject to future revision.
Forward-looking statements
Statements of future events or conditions on this page and in our sustainability report, including those that concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “goal,” “target” or other similar words or expressions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, goals, targets, estimates or expectations will be achieved.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, goals, targets, estimates or expectations include, among others: changes in economic, political and business conditions; pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), global hostilities or natural disasters that disrupt normal business operations or other events beyond our control and actions by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the situation; mergers and acquisitions or significant business model changes; unexpected delays, difficulties and expenses in executing against our goals set forth on this page or in the report; and changes in laws or regulations, including those related to climate initiatives. The forward-looking statements on this page and in the report are made as of the date of 2021 sustainability report, unless otherwise indicated, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
