Same here, pleasure.

Now Sarah, first of all, why did the UN Global Compact undertake this research?

And from the point of view of your member companies, what's the relationship between the Compact's ten principles and the uh whole uh operation of due diligence?

And LKSG, of course, being the German Supply Chain Act for new listeners.

Now, Chris, your findings issued in June were subtitled A Logic Model Analysis of Corporate Disclosure.

And they cover over 250 companies.

So it's both comprehensive and with a lot of academic rigour.

I haven't tried to summarize the main findings myself.

an introduction over to you.

Give us what are the is a flavour of the the principal findings from the report.

And the methodology is really interesting that you've developed because it can be applied elsewhere to other due due diligence laws.

Just again give us a flavour of of what is in that methodology.

I want to ask a question to both of you.

Same question.

Chris, something else that really surprised you.
