### Leadership
Antero's Board of Directors has ultimate oversight of the company's operational performance and ethical conduct. This includes managing the company's risk mitigation and ESG efforts. The Board ESG Committee provides guidance relating to the identification and evaluation or risks and opportunities related to the environment and climate change, health and safety, and social and political trends. [...] ## ESG Committee Focus
Our Board's ESG committee plays a vital role in guiding Antero and the Board in matters related to environmental and climate change risks and opportunities, health and safety programs, and social and political trends and concerns. In addition, the ESG committee provides valuable counsel to the Board and management on significant public policy issues. [...] ## Political Engagement
We believe in the importance of transparency when it comes to our lobbying efforts and political contributions. It is our policy not to make political contributions in support of any party or candidate in any U.S. election, whether at the federal, state, or local level, with a few exceptions. However, we do encourage our employees to exercise their right to participate in the political process based on their personal beliefs and values.
