We also offer ongoing and continuous training on our workplace policies. We encourage all employees to provide feedback and ideas on how Gulfport can continuously improve as an organization. We require all employees to sign a commitment indicating they will speak up if they observe or become aware of any actions that are inconsistent with our core values, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or other Company policies. We are also committed to supporting veterans through our recruiting and hiring efforts, and we support several causes that assist veterans and active -dutymilitary personnel. In 2024, all employees participated in multiple and varied training courses on our Business Code of Conduct and Ethics, Company policies, and topics specifically related to employees’ job performance, health, and safety. We understand that a workplace environment that embraces continuous improvement and incorporates different ideas and perspectives is a healthy environment and one that provides the best solutions to complex challenges.
