, Social and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives aligned to our mission, culture and core values. These values provide the foundation for us to demonstrate our dedication to patients, staff, our environment and local communities. Our Board oversees the ESG initiatives and associated risks relevant to the Company.

Governance

We are committed to good corporate governance and conducting our business in an ethical manner. We have adopted numerous policies and guidelines to facilitate legal and ethical conduct and to further align the interests of our employees and directors with our stockholders and other key stakeholders, including the patients we serve. For a detailed description of several of these policies and guidelines, see “Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance” above.

Transparency, Respect, Accountability, Integrity, and Trust (“TRAIT”) Values

We have formalized a set of company values to guide us in how we conduct our business, interact with colleagues and execute our corporate strategy.

Environmental Sustainability

We are committed to operating our facilities in an environmentally responsible way to reduce environmental impacts and protect our people, our business, the environment and the communities where we operate. In light of the potential impact our business may have on the environment, we have set goals and adopted a number of internal policies and management systems designed to eliminate, reduce, or substitute hazardous materials and waste and reduce water and energy consumption. For example, we constructed our Atara Research Center in Thousand Oaks, California with provisions made to comply with Title 24 requirements, including exterior wall insulation, LED lighting with energy reducing controls system, low flow restroom fixtures, drought tolerant landscaping design, waste stream segregation for landfill and recyclables, and elimination of chlorofluorocarbons and other harmful chemicals during construction.

Community

We are committed to fostering the growth of the next generation of leaders through our involvement in our communities. Through active engagement with local schools, we discuss careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics.

In addition, we have worked with local universities to provide summer internship opportunities at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Additionally, for the National Day of Giving we partnered with James Storehouse, a local non-profit focused on serving kids in foster care to provide housing starter kits for youth aging out of the foster care system and setting up their first home.

We also collaborate with other biotech companies and our local community through Biocom California, the Healthcare Businesswoman’s Association, and the Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, amongst others. We look forward to continuing our community involvement to advance innovation and diversity
