Position on business integrity

We are committed to fostering a healthy business, operating with honesty, fairness, and adherence to ethical standards. Our business integrity is rooted in our core values of responsibility, accountability, transparency, and honesty.

One of the ways we reinforce our commitment to business integrity is by having our employees complete business integrity training every year. In 2023, 98% of our employees completed the training, and in 2022, that number was 97%.
