ITEM 1C.  CYBERSECURITY

Our business relies on computer systems to provide customer information, process customer transactions, communicate, and ‎provide other general information necessary to manage our business. We also rely on a payment card industry-‎compliant third party to protect our customers’ credit card information.

We assess, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats under our enterprise risk assessment framework, as well as several related policies and procedures addressing areas such as threat vulnerability management, cyber risk management, data protection and classification, network security, access control, incident response, security awareness, employee training and asset management. These policies and related standards require identification of all Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) critical systems, assets and networks, and sufficient controls for IT and OT asset inventory, including responsibilities for assets, information owners, and asset disposition processes. From a security perspective, our Information Technology and Safety teams are responsible for protecting physical processes, safety, production, efficiency, and protection of employees. Our Information Security team is directed at protecting all aspects of data and how information is stored, transmitted, processed and used in business processes.
