Performance Overview

The following summary provides a top-line overview of the progress we’ve made as we work to become a more sustainable company. We recognize that our process for measuring progress has not been, and is not, perfect. In many cases, there are inconsistencies in baselines and target dates for achieving our goals. This is largely a consequence of the fact that goals have been set by individual networks and teams across the business. As we move forward and work to promote greater accountability throughout the business, we will need to adopt a more systemic approach for benchmarking and measuring our progress.
