We think his background will support our ESG efforts across the Company and facilitate enhanced disclosure of our progress for all stakeholders. UGI is proud of the work we've accomplished on our ESG initiatives, and we remain energized to make further progress and deliver on our commitments to stakeholders. We expect to announce ambitious GHG reduction and safety targets later this year and will continue to enhance our non-financial disclosure so all of our stakeholders can evaluate UGI on progress beyond our traditional financial commitments.
