Shareholder Engagement Program
Representing Shareholders
One of the board’s primary roles is to represent our shareholders. To fulfill this role, the board believes we must maintain a strong
year-round engagement program with our shareholders. To that end, the board has worked with management to develop a robust
annual shareholder engagement program that includes management members from our investor relations, corporate governance,
sustainability, and executive compensation teams. As appropriate, our directors are also available to meet directly with shareholders.
In most circumstances, our Independent Lead Director will serve as the board’s representative for any board-level engagement with
investors. Feedback from our engagements with investors is shared directly with the board and its committees and serves as an
important input in the board's discussions and decision-making process.
