At Universal Corporation, our goal is to disclose our operational activities and sustainability performance consistently and in a transparent manner. This Sustainability Report builds on our 2018 Sustainability Review and continues our commitment identified in the 2019 Sustainability Report to disclose metrics, facts, and figures that represent our businesses throughout the world. Data disclosed in this report reflect activities from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. All enti- ties within the scope of this report are included in Universal’s Annual Report for the 2022 fiscal year. This report has been prepared in accor- dance with the following GRI Standards: Core option and SASB Agriculture Products Standard. At Universal, we continuously evaluate how we can better align our operations with sustainable best practices. As such, with the European Union and others currently reviewing the need for supply chain due diligence directives, we have begun to enhance our communications to include references to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Accordingly, throughout this report, we have reviewed and evaluated the UN SDGs and have placed icons where our actions contribute towards meeting such goals. The UN SDGs iden- tified in this report may not be inclusive of every SDG we contribute to, but our goal is to assure our global stakeholders that we proactively operate in alignment with the UN SDGs and will continue to evaluate our supply chains for risks or impacts to which we may be contributing. Universal appreciates the employees, farmers, customers and other partners who helped us navigate these last 12 months. Despite supply chain challenges, we met our customers’ needs, continued to invest in our businesses while returning cash to shareholders, and maintained our commitment to sustainability. I am confident we are a stronger company as a result. On behalf of our Board of Directors and the employ- ees of Universal, thank you for your continued support.
