Over time, we have and will proactively continue to reach out to our stakeholders - including our employees, government officials, regulators, customers, business and ecological leaders, consumer advocates, nonprofit organizations and shareholders - to learn more about their perspectives on the company. Through a series of conversations, focus groups, and surveys, we understand that our stakeholders want to know more about Brass Edge’s commitment to the environment, to renewable energy, and to the communities in which we operate.

We see this report as one avenue to discuss the progress we are making on the issues most important to our stakeholders. We will also share the measures we have taken to preserve the wildlife and habitat in and around our facilities and explain how we have refocused our philanthropic strategy part of which our goal is to establish the Brass Edge Foundation, that partners with nonprofit organizations to create sustainable and responsible change in our communities.

This is just the beginning of this expedition, we are still in the development stage. This process is a journey and we look forward to continuing to share our storyas well as in future reports.
