Our commitment to addressing ESG includes management oversight and dedicated teams of professionals who collaborate with subject-matter experts throughout the business. Our Board of Directors allocates oversight of ESG matters generally amongst the full Board of Directors and our Board of Directors' three independent committees rather than delegating responsibility for oversight of all ESG matters to a single committee. By separating areas of focus and attention encompassed within ESG considerations, each of these committees and the full Board of Directors oversee areas of corporate responsibility within their respective areas of focus. For example, our full Board of Directors oversees strategic direction and portfolio construction, which considers elements of climate risk and social considerations, while the Audit Committee oversees, among other things, our risk assessment and risk management policy and processes, including those related to climate change and information security risk, and the Compensation Committee oversees, among other things, executive compensation risks and human capital risks associated with compensation. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee oversees our governance practices including, among other things:

• Our commitment to conducting our business in a manner that is fair, ethical and transparent, and responsible and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.

• The regular review and, as appropriate, updating of key policy documents considering current regulations and best practices.

• Ensuring that, as part of our director nomination process, our Board of Directors seeks a broad range of perspectives and considers many factors, including the backgrounds, qualifications, skills, expertise, qualities and experience of directors and prospective directors.
