To our stakeholders:

We recognize that a key requirement for participation in the UN Global Compact is the annual preparation and posting of a Communication on Progress (COP) that comprises of a CEO statement of continued support for the UN Global Compact, a description of practical actions with regard to the principles of the UN Global Compact, and a measurement of outcomes or expected outcomes.

As we will be posting our CSR & Sustainability Report—which, effectively, serves as our COP—on April 6, 2017, we hereby ask for an extension period until that date.

Best regards,

MaryAnn Kenney
