Our People, Our Purpose
In scal 2025, Lindsay s focus on people remained
at the center of our progress. Early in the year,

CEO, traveled to various locations to engage directly
with teams and partners in key regions. These visits
reinforced our belief that strong connections across
borders create stronger outcomes.
We also celebrated important moments of
recognition. Lindsay was proud to be named United
