Cheniere Energy Inc

We are in a unique position as the largest producer of liquefied natural gas in the United States and the second-largest LNG operator globally. As an industry leader, we invest in core human capital priorities — attracting, engaging, retaining and developing talent — because our employees enable our current and future success and our ability to generate long-term value.

Our employees help drive our success, build our reputation, establish our legacy and deliver on our commitments to our customers. We aim to retain the best talent and keep our employees engaged through fulfilling career opportunities, training and development resources, and a competitive compensation program.

Our Chief Human Resources Officer oversees human capital management. This includes our approach to talent attraction and retention, rewards and remuneration, employee relations, employee engagement and training and development. Both our Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer communicate progress on our programs to our board of directors (our“Board”) quarterly.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 1,714 full-time employees with 1,617 located in the U.S. and 97 located outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K.).

Talent Attraction and Retention

Our recruitment strategy is focused on attracting highly skilled talent. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, and work to develop and attract a strong talent pipeline through a range of internship, apprenticeship and vocational programs. We invest in opportunities to help local students and underserved communities gain specialized skills and create local jobs through sponsorship of apprenticeships and internships. On an annual basis, we participate in workforce availability studies in the geographic areas where we operate to align our workforce planning with available community resources and talent. Internally and externally, we post openings to attract individuals with a range of qualified backgrounds, skills and experience. Our voluntary turnover was 4.7% for 2024.

Compensation and Benefits

We provide robust compensation and benefits programs to our employees. In addition to salaries, all employees are eligible for annual bonuses and stock awards. Benefit plans, which vary by country, include a 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, family care resources, employee assistance programs and tuition assistance. We link our annual incentive program to financial and non-financial performance metrics.

Culture and Engagement

We are committed to supporting a culture where all employees can thrive, feel they belong and are valued. To create this environment, we are committed to compliance with all federal, state and local laws that prohibit workplace discrimination, harassment and unlawful retaliation. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our core values of teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity, nimble and safety (“TRAINS”) and our policies demonstrate our commitment to building an inclusive workplace, regardless of race, beliefs, nationality, gender and sexual orientation or any other status protected by our policy. We are committed to providing fair and equitable employee programs including compensation and benefits. We will continue our “Values in Action” efforts, which supports employees in identifying and implementing actions and behaviors that align with our TRAINS values.

We manage and measure organizational health with a view to gaining insight into employees’ experiences, levels of workplace satisfaction and feelings of engagement and inclusion with the company. Employees are encouraged to share ideas and concerns through multiple feedback channels including townhalls and hotlines which can be reached anonymously. Insights from these channels are used to develop both company-wide and business unit level talent development plans and training programs.

Development and Training

As the first exporter of LNG in the lower 48 of the U.S., we faced the unique challenge of developing our own LNG talent. Our apprenticeship program prepares local students for careers in LNG. This program combines classroom education with training and on-site learning experiences at our facilities.

We strive to provide our people with all of the tools and support necessary for them to succeed. We actively encourage our employees to take ownership of their careers and offer a number of resources to do so. Employees receive mid-year and annual performance reviews, as well as frequent informal discussions to help meet their career goals. We also conduct annual talent reviews and succession planning sessions to ensure future organizational talent trends are met. To ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations in a highly regulated environment, we offer online and site-specific learning opportunities. We also provide employees, leaders and executives with targeted development programming to solidify internal talent pipelines and succession plans.

Employee Safety, Health and Wellness

The safety of our employees, contractors and communities is one of our core values, and is carried out through our required safety programs and safety and health related procedures. Safety efforts are led by our Executive Safety Committee, which includes the Chief Executive Officer, senior leaders from across the company and representatives from our sites. We focus our efforts on continuously improving our performance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had one employee recordable injury and eleven contractor recordable injuries. Our total recordable incident rate (employees and contractors combined) was 0.15, placing us in the top quintile of industry benchmarks based on Bureau of Labor safety statistics.

To support the well-being of our employees, we provide a wellness program that offers employees incentives to maintain an active lifestyle and set personal wellness goals. Incentives include online education related to health, nutrition and emotional health, as well as subsidies for fitness devices and gym memberships. We also offer mammography screenings, rooms for nursing mothers and biometric screenings.
