- Onboarding more diverse suppliers
- Engaging and forming partnerships with organizations that actively   promote justice and positive change 
- Investing $201 million to drive social change in our communities since 2020

Our work is not episodic, every day we are continuing to identify the obstacles and opportunities that lie ahead as we move boldly forward in our equity journey.
