Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our H1 2022 Presentation.
We have defined this period as a challenging period and I think as we go through the presentation you will see why.
Obviously, there are forward-looking statements, so please take note of our Safe Harbor statement.
If I can then move on to the agenda, as always, we will start with safety and ESG, I'll cover that.
I would like to do a recap on our strategic positioning, combined with a complex global backdrop, we did introduce you to our gray elephants at our year-end results in February of this year and I think it's a good time just to recap.
