Strong net new business growth of 3%, driven by the U.S. and European pallets businesses, was partly offset by lower like-for-like volumes from existing customers due to weaker consumer demand. Profit was up 4% as a result of price increases and productivity improvements despite the costs of handling the U.S. system disruption and inflationary pressures.; USDA Proposes to Remove Roadless Rule: Preservationist groups largely oppose the decision pointing to the fact that the majority of wildfires are caused by human activity.
