This report is printed on paper containing
fiber from well-managed, independently
certified forests and contains a minimum
of 10% post-consumer recycled fiber. To
further reduce resource use, Lowe’s is
relying on E-proxy rules to make the proxy
materials for its 2014 Annual Meeting,
including this Annual Report, available
online to many of our shareholders
instead of mailing hard copies to them.
This use of technology has allowed us
to reduce the number of copies we print
of our Annual Report. For additional

to sustainable forest management,
