These steps reflect our learning and commitment to a long-term, practical impact that we believe will add value to our overall business.' Bill Adams, Chief Sustainability Officer, added: 'We recognize that credibility in sustainability comes from transparency and benchmarking. In 2024, we prioritized ESG governance by securing third-party assurance of our emissions data and aligning with evolving disclosure standards. These efforts helped improve our Sustainalytics ESG risk rating and position Mercer as a reliable partner for investors, customers, and communities who increasingly expect clear and consistent sustainability performance.' 2024 Highlights Selected highlights of accomplishments include: Climate & Emissions 83% of fuel-based energy came from renewable sources, advancing toward the Company's 90% target by 2030.
