- FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Website may contain certain forward looking statements and information (FLI) to provide shareholders of the Companies and potential investors with information about the Companies and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, including management's assessment of the Companies and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates' future plans and operations, which FLI may not be appropriate for other purposes. FLI is typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "expect", "project", "estimate", "forecast", "plan", "intend", "target", "believe", "likely" and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be FLI. Although management believes that the FLI is reasonable based on the information available today and processes used to prepare it, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and you are cautioned against placing undue reliance on FLI. By its nature, FLI involves a variety of assumptions, which are based upon factors that may be difficult to predict and that may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these FLI. Information about these assumptions, risks and uncertainties can be found in applicable filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these factors, as well as other factors, the impact of any one assumption, risk or uncertainty on FLI cannot be determined with certainty. Except to the extent required by law, the Companies and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any FLI, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Companies’ ESG goals and sustainability-related activities, commitments, and plans, and associated information and data, involve forward-looking information and are based on a variety of assumptions, estimates, judgments, risks, and uncertainties.
The achievement of our ESG goals and sustainability-related commitments will depend on the collective efforts and actions across a wide range of stakeholders, and the development of technologies, all of which are largely outside of our control, and there can be no assurance that they will be achieved.
Our ESG goals and pathways for reducing our operational emissions over time continue to evolve and may need to be restated, modified, or recalibrated as available data improves, as standards, methodologies, metrics and measurements mature, and as legislation, regulations, policies, and stakeholder sentiment evolve.
