, we provide annual cybersecurity training for all Board members and senior executives.

As part of its charter, the Audit Committee oversees our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including with respect to cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee administers its risk oversight function by receiving regular reports from members of senior management, including the Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, Chief Accounting Officer and General Counsel & Chief Risk Officer, on areas of material risk to the Company. Our Audit Committee discusses DiamondRock’s cybersecurity program at least annually, and receives quarterly updates from internal audit or management on cybersecurity incidents or other developments.

Our Board of Directors plays an important role in the risk oversight of the Company. Our Board of Directors is involved in risk oversight through its direct decision-making authority with respect to significant matters and the oversight of management by the Board’s committees. Our Board also relies on management to bring significant matters impacting DiamondRock to its attention.

Our sustainability objectives are designed to support our Company's vision and strategic principles through measures to:

• reduce energy and water consumption;

• increase profitability at our hotels;

• proactively manage environmental risks; and

• make positive contributions to communities.

Our 11th CRR included information about our Corporate Responsibility program, strategy, initiatives, performance statistics, reduction targets, progress toward achieving our reduction targets, and additional disclosures. The CRR included several enhancements including a pathway to net zero plan, designed to guide the Company on a mission to achieve net-zero status by 2050.

In order to assist investors with better understanding the Company’s corporate responsibility performance, the Company continued to post disclosures on our website in accordance with the framework established by the Global Reporting Initiative throughout 2024.
