Mr. Painter continued, “When demand was low, we took the opportunity to invest in the reliability of our facilities to ensure that we emerge from this period a stronger company. Throughout the year, we also supported the communities we are privileged to operate within by donating materials to help with pandemic-related needs, and supporting those team members affected by hurricanes in the U.S. These actions in concert with advancing our sustainability strategy are core to our values. In 2021, we will maintain a focus on driving shareholder value through continuing to be responsive to our customers’ needs, advancing our sustainability business goals and investing in select, high-return strategic initiatives to bolster our short and longer-term earnings growth potential.”
