This very fact, coupled with our Purpose-inspired Growth Strategy—improving the lives of more consumers, in more parts of the world, more completely—requires us to continue to grow responsibly. And it also requires us to accelerate our commitment to helping solve some of the world’s sustainability challenges. We have an obligation to help solve some of the world’s sustainability challenges, and we believe we can do this through innovation.
