We engage with a broad range of organizations important to our business, our global user base, and our employees. We regularly update our U.S. Public Policy Transparency website to provide a list of organizations that receive contributions from our U.S. Government Affairs and Public Policy team. [...] Our well-established compliance program and multi-layered oversight structure promotes responsible and effective management of our policy positions. We seek to operate in compliance with applicable laws, and we continuously monitor and evolve our practices, policies, and goals as appropriate to address compliance risks. Our commitment to compliance and responsible policy management is reinforced by a robust oversight structure. Our Global Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy leads our policy work, with additional input from our Chief Legal Officer. The Audit Committee oversees the company's major risk exposures, including those associated with legal, regulatory, compliance, civil and human rights, and reputational risks, while the Compensation Committee oversees human capital management. The full Board receives regular updates from both Committees.
