At Carnival Corporation, diversity is front and center in our business. We know that inclusive workplaces don't happen by accident. You build them intentionally with every decision, every hire, every policy

And innovation by definition, is diversity of thinking. And that's what creates innovation out of the box thinking, diversity of thinking. And diversity of thinking is far more likely to occur when you have a diverse group of people doing the thinking. So outside of social justice, which I'll speak about in a moment, just from a business imperative standpoint, diversity, because diversity of thinking is critical in any business for it to sustain itself over time.

And diversity and inclusion is critical in business, but it's also critical in society.

Well, ESG has been a continuous priority for the cruise industry and hopefully for everybody on the planet. And we have eleven LNG ships, either sailing or plan coming, which helps reduce the carbon footprint. We peaked in 2011, and we've expanded capacity substantially since then in terms of carbon emissions, and we've reduced emissions over that time from the peak in 2011. And carbon intensity, we've reduced over 30% over a period of time, dating back to, say, 2008, 2006. And we're far from done. I mean, we're all on a march to net zero emissions.

But globally, the human race. We need to elevate our standards of social justice, and we can do that on a very individual basis to start with.
