 security; and environmental stewardship. We have also focused on addressing a number of key governance principles that are generally considered best practices. Of our areas of focus, we are more focused on developing talent management and culture and cyber security because we believe these have the greatest potential to create - and the highest risk to destroy - value for Mercury and our shareholders. We continue to invest in our efforts, results, and reporting accountability, and endeavor to add both to what we do and how we report these efforts over time.

Our executive leadership team oversees and implements our environmental initiatives with a view towards demonstrating our commitment to good corporate citizenship and responsible business practices. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors reviews our ESG practices with a view toward how our efforts help attract, develop, and retain employee talent, including our culture and values as well as how we demonstrate our commitment to good corporate citizenship. The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for the annual assessments of the Board, its Committees, and individual directors, the annual process of the selection and nomination of directors for election, our corporate governance policies and processes, and reviewing and overseeing Mercury's environmental impact and initiatives.

### Talent Management
For talent management and culture, we strive to invest in the professional development of our team members, hiring and retaining a diverse workforce. We are focused on ongoing employee training in critical compliance areas and on business ethics, export rules, and our culture of integrity. We adhere to high ethical and security standards and operating with integrity is a foundation of our culture and values. We disclose in the Environmental, Social, and Governance section of our website gender, racial, and ethnicity data, our voluntary and involuntary termination rates, and our OSHA injury rates.

Through integrated collaboration and a commitment to secure innovation, we achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 compliance as soon as the rule took effect.

We have cyber security expertise on our Board of Directors, with Ms. Plunkett having served as a federal senior executive at the National Security Agency (NSA), including roles as Deputy Director and later Director of Information Assurance, where she led the agency's information assurance and cyber defense mission.
