 Specifically, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees, assesses and reviews the disclosure and reporting of any sustainability matters, including with respect to climate change, regarding the Company’s business and industry, and that committee’s charter formally incorporates oversight of sustainability matters as a stated responsibility. Sustainability is reviewed on an ongoing basis in conjunction with environmental, health and safety, and social matters at each Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meeting. The Audit Committee oversees Helix’s enterprise risk management processes, including business continuity, and cybersecurity risk and prevention management. Lastly, the Compensation Committee oversees executive management performance and compensation, including sustainability key performance indicators and human capital management. From a social perspective, the Board and management recognize their leadership responsibility in embracing our vision and core values. The Board is focused on maintaining an ethical culture at all levels within our organization. The Audit Committee receives an update from management at every regular committee meeting outlining the Company’s compliance initiatives, including adherence to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board also receives regular educational updates on matters such as anti-corruption, legal and regulatory developments and specific risks in the geographic areas in which we operate or seek to operate. As part of this process, Helix has adopted a Statement on Human Rights and Supplier and Vendor Expectations, both of which can be found on our website at www.helixesg.com/about-helix/our-company/ corporate-governance. At every regular Board meeting our Chief Operating Officer or his designee reports to the Board on Helix’s performance compared to Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”) targets set for ourselves against industry statistics, and various initiatives being implemented by HSE management. The Board also receives a report on Helix’s safety record (including total reportable incident rate, or TRIR), lost time incidents, any significant accident or illness incidents, information security matters and risks, and has the opportunity to question management. Our core operations have long included evaluating and mitigating risks and opportunities associated with climate change and our Climate Change Action Committee, comprised of key leaders from HSE, finance, legal, our business units and management, evaluates Helix’s impact on climate change, implements our go-forward strategies and assists in providing comprehensive disclosures.
