We are also focused on how we can help the communities we are part of get a strong and fair start, through efforts such as our Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, as well as our multi-year commitment to invest $ 350 billion in the United States. “.

These results helped us generate a record operating cash flow of $ 38.8 billion. We also returned over $ 30 billion to shareholders during the quarter as we maintain our goal of achieving a net and liquidity neutral position over time ”.
