We are proud of our commitment to remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities while continuing to provide the service and support our company is known for as we build and power a better world. We believe we demonstrated and continue to prove our ability to remain agile and pivot as change is required, which is not without difficult decisions and learnings along the way. Specifically in 2020, we increased our efforts to embed a safety culture, resulting in positive momentum as we reduced our total injury frequency by 35% compared to 2019 and we continued to educate and motivate our workforce about the importance of building inclusive and respectful teams, through ongoing training and the adoption of our new global respect, inclusion and diversity policy. We continued to provide innovative solutions for our customers, including technology solutions that improve their safety, equipment health and productivity performance, virtual inspections and training, as well as doing our part to transition to a lower carbon economy by enabling cleaner power solutions. Most importantly, we remained focused on people, investing in skilled talent through continued apprenticeship programs, community support efforts and numerous volunteer hours by our own employees, globally, supporting the delivery of STEM outreach programming, all of which will support us on our path to recovery. 2020 was an exceptional execution year. Despite the challenges, we benefited from earlier investments in our digital capabilities and delivered on the commitments we set out at the beginning of the year. We improved our execution in South America, reduced our cost base in Canada, built a strong backlog of projects in the UK, and significantly lowered our finance costs. The combination of employee flexibility, liquidity from our capital markets partners, and government support programs in Canada and the UK have helped protect against significant job losses while positioning our business for a strong recovery. Our investment in technology over the last 5 years allowed us to effectively navigate the pandemic. Solid IT infrastructure has enabled efficient remote work for all employees who can do their work from home. Machine connectivity has been essential to our improved inventory management, and is providing us with a great foundation to grow product support market share in non-mining sectors. Our investment in e-commerce resulted in a significant increase in non-service parts being transacted online, from about 10% in 2016 to over 40% in 2020. We are pleased to share details of our board of director nominees beginning on page 17. All directors currently serving on our board are standing for re-election. We encourage you to read the attached management proxy circular to ensure you are well informed on the items we will ask you to vote on. The challenges we continue to face motivate us to stay grounded in our conviction to control what we can control, staying the course to ensure we will come out a stronger, better company on the other side. Thank you for your ongoing support in 2020 and we look forward to welcoming you to our annual and special meeting May 11, 2021.
