 and monitors performance relative to the achievement of those plans. The Board sets the tone at the top to support a corporate culture that emphasizes ethical standards, professionalism, integrity, and compliance. The Board and its committees consider long-range strategic issues and material risks facing the Company, together with management’s actions to address and mitigate these risks; oversee corporate policies and processes to promote and maintain the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and controls, legal and ethical compliance, and relationships with customers and suppliers; review the Company’s sustainability and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices and strategies; and provide oversight relative to the compensation of senior management, leadership development, and management succession planning. As part of its oversight of the strategic direction of the Company, senior leadership presents to the Board at the beginning of each year the annual business plans for each business unit and the consolidated annual business plan for the Company as a whole. At each subsequent meeting throughout the year, management shares quarterly performance results for each business unit and the whole Company, and the Board benchmarks these outcomes to the annual plans. Each year, the Board engages in a strategic planning meeting with management where it conducts a comprehensive review and discussion of the Company’s strategic direction and goals over the short-, medium-, and long-term, as well as management’s plans to achieve such goals. At least twice each year, the business unit presidents provide an in-depthreview and update of their businesses to the Board, which includes a review of the strategic goals of the business and business performance relative to business strategy.
