the IUE-CWA and the Confederacion De Trabajadores Mexicanos. In the U.S., our employees are represented by only the IUE-
CWA, with which we have competitive wage and benefit packages.
Environmental Compliance
We are subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., environmental and safety and health
laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge, hazardous materials and waste management.
We have an environmental management structure designed to facilitate and support our compliance with these requirements
globally. Although it is our intent to comply with all such requirements and regulations, we cannot provide assurance that we
are at all times in compliance. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more
stringent over time. Accordingly, we cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent
over time or that our eventual environmental costs and liabilities will not be material.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of
removal or remediation of hazardous substances. In addition to clean-up actions brought by U.S. federal, state, local and non-
U.S. agencies, plaintiffs could raise personal injury or other private claims due to the presence of hazardous substances on or
from a property. We are currently in the process of investigating and cleaning up some of our current or former sites. In
addition, there may be soil or groundwater contamination at several of our properties resulting from historical, ongoing or
nearby activities.
At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was
approximately $4 million, $5 million and $6 million, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the
undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation attributable to discontinued operations included within
liabilities held for sale was approximately $6 million, $16 million and $15 million, respectively, of which $0 million, $7 million
and $7 million, respectively, related to sites within the U.S. We cannot ensure that our eventual environmental remediation costs
and liabilities will not exceed the amount of our current reserves. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed
the amounts recorded, our results of operations could be materially affected.
