Performance Data
We employ quantitative performance data and comparisons to previous years’ performance to demonstrate McCormick’s ongoing efforts to build a sustainable future and create long-term, sustainable value for our stakeholders.
ESG Reporting and Data
Our Purpose-led Performance reporting outlines our efforts and performance related to sustainability under our three PLP focus areas–People, Communities and Planet – and is mapped to widely used reporting frameworks including Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer
Certain statements we make about our business and our future business plans, initiatives and objectives relating to Purpose-led Performance (“PLP”) and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, including those in our PLP reports or on our websites, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information. We are providing this cautionary statement in connection with the safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events, conditions, plans and strategies that are not historical fact. Any statement that is not historical in nature is a forward-looking statement and may be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “drive,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “strategy,” “target” and “will” or similar statements or variations of such terms and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in such statements, especially in regards to PLP and ESG matters as they may be based on expectations and assumptions that are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and the lack of an established single approach to identifying, measuring and reporting on many PLP and ESG matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, when evaluating information presented on PLP and ESG matters as a result of the inherent risks and uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
