Sustainability has always been core to our mission and vision, and we are committed to continuing to evolve our ESG-related programs and disclosures in alignment with our public benefit purpose. We have an active, engaged, and diverse Board of Directors, which oversees our key business strategies and objectives, our risk management process, and our compliance program. Our Board – and specifically the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board – has formal oversight of our ESG program and public benefit corporation (PBC) goal setting, performance assessment, and reporting. This oversight extends to climate-related risks and opportunities.
