##### Governance

###### Global Citizenship & Sustainability is integrated across all levels of our organization and governed by our Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors (the Board) is responsible for formal
governance of Global Citizenship & Sustainability (GC&S).
The Board receives progress updates at least once a year
and reviews our annual GC&S Report.

Various Board committees have additional responsibilities:

- The Nominating, Governance, Citizenship & Sustainability
Committee oversees our environmental, social and
governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. The committee
receives quarterly updates; reviews initiatives, goals and
policies; and makes recommendations to the Board on
ESG matters. Each quarterly update includes a detailed
analysis on a specific ESG topic.

- The Finance Committee and the Nominating, Governance,
Citizenship & Sustainability Committee advise on the
incorporation of goals into our corporate strategy
and engagement of business initiatives that influence
corporate citizenship and sustainability.

- The Audit Committee assesses ESG risks as part of
its overall Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) review.

- The Talent, Culture and Total Rewards Committee
considers performance against Company ESG key
performance indicators in their compensation decisions.

Our Global Citizenship & Sustainability Steering Committee
includes senior leaders from across our Company and
meets regularly to prioritize our approach and allocate
resources. Committee members also define, track and
champion our citizenship and sustainability work, including
diversity, equity and inclusion across the organization.

In April 2022, we expanded the responsibility and
accountability of our Chief Communications Officer into
the new role of Chief Impact & Communications Officer.
This position was created in recognition of the evolving
role business plays at the intersection of ESG strategy,
policy, communication and action.
