ESG\n\nrisks, including those related to climate and environmental performance, are a priority of the Board and are reviewed by the Board collectively. The Audit Committee of the Board of\n\nDirectors oversees environmental and sustainability initiatives, risks and related disclosures, including risks related to material environmental disclosures and published targets.\n\n**b) Describe management's role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.**\n\nIn connection with our strong founding values, management – at the direction of and subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors and its committees – oversees the\n\nprioritization of ESG topics that impact our business and stakeholders and the focus of our Corporate Responsibility strategy and reporting. Recently, we formalized our ESG\n\ngovernance framework to include a ESG Executive Committee and ESG Steering Committee. The ESG Executive Committee, which includes our chairman and CEO, CFO, president\n\nand COO, and Chief Legal Counsel, among other senior executives, provides direction regarding ESG strategy, goals, and policies, and receives periodic progress updates. The ESG\n\nSteering Committee, composed of senior leaders through the company, manages ESG initiatives and meets regularly to discuss and make recommendations regarding ESG-related\n\nrisks, policies, and processes.
