highlight the benefits for all stakeholders to
harmonize, converge on standards, and make
operations the most in terms of performance
so that it could be of benefit for all stakehold-
ers. The stakes here are not a local business
one like more money for my company; the real
stake is a safer world for workers, consumers,
families, children, friends, and future genera-
tions on Earth. This stake is well worth such
an ambitious plan; let us start this long jour-
ney together.
