Excellence in Corporate Responsibility

Regency’s Core Values, including the importance that we place on Corporate Responsibility, are at the foundation of who we are and what we do. We believe that acting responsibly is strategic to value creation for our investors, the long-term sustainability of our business, the interests of our shareholders and other key stakeholders, and the protection of the environment. Our Corporate Responsibility program is built on four pillars: our people, our communities, ethics and governance, and environmental stewardship, and is guided by our focus on three overarching concepts: long-term value creation for our shareholders and key stakeholders, the importance of maintaining and nurturing our culture, and protecting and enhancing Regency’s brand and reputation.

Our Corporate Responsibility Pillars

Corporate Responsibility Oversight and Alignment with Business Strategy

Our Board is responsible for the oversight of our Corporate Responsibility strategy, initiatives, and business alignment, and has delegated to our Nominating and Governance Committee oversight of Regency’s Corporate Responsibility program and objectives. Our Corporate Responsibility Committee is comprised of senior leaders of management from key areas of our business and is tasked with working with management’s Executive Committee (which is made up of the Company’s four most senior officers) to ensure that our corporate responsibility strategies and near-and long-term objectives are embedded throughout our business decisions, processes, and activities for the benefit of our shareholders and key stakeholders. Our President and CEO, Lisa Palmer, has ultimate senior management responsibility for our Corporate Responsibility program, through her oversight of our Corporate Responsibility Committee and the leadership of our Executive Committee.

| Proxy Summary

In 2024, the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee, and our full Board, were briefed regularly on our Corporate Responsibility program and objectives, including strategic sustainability and employee and community engagement initiatives, performance against metrics and targets, sustainability reporting, and the evolving landscape of expectations and practices among our investors and key stakeholders.

Corporate Responsibility Highlights

Our Approach to Corporate Responsibility Reporting and Disclosure

We routinely engage with our investors and other stakeholders to better understand their expectations and reflect on their priorities. We understand that our investors and stakeholders expect disclosure of corporate responsibility-related information relevant to the performance and ongoing success of our business, and we remain committed to disclosure that is transparent, accurate, and aligned with our Core Values. Our dedication to the four pillars of our program helps to ensure that we continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and accountability in our corporate responsibility reporting and initiatives. In May 2024, we issued our annual Corporate Responsibility Report, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) standard and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) frameworks.
