Visions - Spring 2020 - 2
FROM THE EDITORS
Dear Visions Readers:
T
his issue of Visions comes to you digitally at a pivotal point in the history of our company, if not
the world. As everyone continues to adjust their lives to the COVID-19 pandemic, we created this special
Visions cover to salute our SC Americas employees, who have been working from home during this
unprecedented, worldwide phenomenon. Inside you'll find an interview with our HSE leaders, who talk
about the challenges working toward solutions during this time, and how those connect to our overall policies
and plans for HSE.
Additionally, we take a look at several areas of thriving business, including our South American and Mexican
food business, our Automatic People Mover business which celebrates an anniversary, and our Silicon Valley
Office's success through its R&D Fund investments in the future.
You'll notice that this issue of Visions is being delivered digitally and not physically for the first time,
to account for everyone's limited office access as well as delivery options. This reflects our dedication to
delivering our best, no matter the circumstances, in the way we always have: together.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Visions.
Stay safe and healthy,
The Visions Editors
