2021 Deleted Questions
 Introduction
 As part of the ongoing review of the CSA Methodology, a focus of the 2021 update was to
 streamline the questionnaire, removing questions that were no longer differentiating between
 companies. This is often the direct result of improved corporate sustainability practices
 across industries or enhanced regulation on specific topics. This allows us to introduce new
 general and industry-specific criteria, to ensure that our assessment continues to raise the
 bar for corporate sustainability performance and challenge companies in their thinking about
 long-term risks and opportunities.

 PLEASE NOTE: The question texts and methodology presented may be subject to change at
 any time before the end of March 2021. Additional deletions or additions to the questionnaire
 may be made, as necessary.
