Our business success is supported by our ability to balance our relationships with our employees and the communities where we operate. In the factory and in our global service operations, our priority is health and safety. In communities where we have a presence, we are focused on harmonizing long-term economic, social and environmental benefits through sustainable initiatives, job creation, supplier engagement, research and development activities, and educational support. Our commitment is to broaden these benefits by expanding our local presence in the places where we operate.
