| Significant business continuity issues in 2021 | During 2021, we saw numerous business interruptions related to our supply chain and operational constraints. Normally, this resulted in the initiation of our Management of Change process for alternative materials, alternative suppliers, transferring the customer to alternative packaging or transferring of business to an alternate facility. Interruptions also resulted in the implementation of business allocations for key customers, and the extension of lead times at facilities. | ||
