all business lines for the first time. In that report, we also disclosed Scope 1 GHG emissions reduction targets across both
our cement and magnesia specialties operations, which are the sources of most of our Scope 1 GHG emissions, for 2030
over a 2010 baseline year.
• Our 2020 Sustainability Report, which will be issued in April 2021, we will expand the extensive disclosures included in
our 2019 Sustainability Report. These will include additional key sustainability matters, such as Scope 2 GHG emissions
data across all of our business lines.

specifically on Sustainability issues. In addition, we discussed Sustainability issues with almost all of 313 investor groups
we met with through virtual conferences, roadshows, field trips, and group meetings during the year.

Safety

2020 was our safest year on record which strengthens our belief that Zero is Possible. This means operating our business
without any safety incidents. Our goal is zero. We look to world-class companies and safety incident rates for guidance as
to how we achieve this. We have continued to make headway in 2020 towards this important goal.

Excellence Award winners. These awards recognize operations that have gone the longest duration without a reportable
