Our employees are participating in water stewardship efforts around the world through our company-wide Time4Water volunteering campaign. ? Last year, Orbia’s first Time4Water campaign brought together nearly 2,500 employee volunteers who dedicated more than 7,000 hours of their time during month of March to participate in 120 different water-related activities from planting Mangrove trees to restoring wetlands to running awareness races to cleaning up trash in water basins. This year our Time4Water campaign is in full swing and we expect to build on last year's success by continuing to deliver positive water impact to our communities. ?
