FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this press release and DCM's 2025 Sustainability Report (the "Associated Report") constitute "forward-looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of DCM, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release and Associated Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding DCM's approach to managing sustainability matters, and DCM's sustainability-related objectives, vision, commitments, goals, metrics, and targets, including DCM's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
When used in this press release and Associated Report, words such as "may", "would", "could", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "plan", and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect DCM's current views regarding future events and operating performance, are based on information currently available to DCM, and speak only as of the date of this press release and Associated Report.
These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. They should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such performance or results will be achieved. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of DCM to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. With respect to DCM's environment, social and governance "ESG" and sustainability-related goals, such factors include, but are not limited to, the absence of standardized methodologies for classifying sustainability-related terms (including in their meaning and scope), the absence of standardized methodologies for classifying sustainability-related activities or for evaluating their impact, and the availability of comprehensive and high-quality data (including climate-related data, diversity metrics, social indicators, and data from third-parties on whom DCM may be required to rely for information). We caution readers of this press release and Associated Report not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements since a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions, or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this press release and Associated Report as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Unless required by applicable securities law, DCM does not intend and does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Additional Caution Regarding Sustainability-Related Disclosures
DCM also cautions readers of the following regarding the sustainability-related disclosures included in this press release and Associated Report:
The terms "ESG" and "sustainability" and similar terms, taxonomies, methodologies, criteria and standards are evolving in terms of both meaning and scope. DCM's use of such terms may vary over time to reflect this evolution. Any use of such terms in this press release and Associated Report are intended as references to DCM's internally defined criteria and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory definitions or voluntary standard that may exist.
There could be changes to the market practices, taxonomies, methodologies, criteria and standards that regulators, non-governmental bodies, civil society, DCM and its suppliers and clients use to classify, measure, determine the eligibility of, report on and verify environmental and social activities for inclusion toward DCM's sustainability-related goals, or to evaluate the impacts of such activities. DCM may update its sustainability-related goals, its progress towards those goals, and the eligibility of certain activities, as appropriate, in light of new and evolving market practices, taxonomies, methodologies, criteria, and standards.
In making and implementing its sustainability-related goals, DCM must rely on data obtained from third-party sources. DCM's use of third-party data must not be taken as an endorsement of the third-party or its data or be construed as granting any form of intellectual property. Although DCM believes these sources are reliable, DCM has not independently verified any third-party data or assessed the assumptions underlying such data and cannot guarantee the accuracy of such third-party data or assumptions. The data used by DCM in connection with its sustainability-related goals may be limited in quality, unavailable, or inconsistent. Certain third-party data may also change over time as market practices, taxonomies, methodologies, criteria and standards evolve. These factors and related uncertainties could have a material effect on DCM's sustainability-related goals and DCM's ability to meet them.
DCM may need to or elect to purchase carbon and clean energy instruments, including carbon offset and removal credits and renewable energy credits, to meet sustainability-related goals. The market for these instruments is still developing and their availability may be limited. Some of these instruments are also subject to the risk of invalidation or reversal, and DCM provides no assurance of the treatment of any such instruments in the future. There may also be changes to applicable regulations and standards that impact the market for carbon and clean energy instruments. The maturity, liquidity and economics of this market may make it more difficult for DCM to achieve its sustainability-related goals.
