If you can do that, youll be successful. Weve also found the wisdom in working with specific companies for the next innovation that will drive sustainability over the next ten years. A big part of our business is in that we are a very key component in the supply chain of liquefied natural gas export. The Dominion project at Cove Point is a good example. There were the exclusive supplier of all the refrigeration gases that go into that facility, as well as the other liquefied natural gas export facilities. But our options stay open, whether its wind, solar or nuclear, whatever may be our next generation of perfect energy, we will continue to innovate. We recognize that a lot of the steps that we take in markets that we participate in arent going to be the end-all, but are significant steps toward sustainability, whether its reducing emis-sions or reducing other types of pollution, while at the same time keeping people safe, keeping people warm, and providing effective consumer products.How does Sumitomo support your companys overall missionfrom short-term goals toAbove: Auriemma providing long-term thinking? insight about the aerosol industrys need to continue Sumitomo has enabled us take our business to the next level.
