 shares articles, reports and current events with directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee reviews the director education process to ensure the continuing education provided remains relevant and helpful. Individual Discussions and Mentoring Management Outside of regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings, our directors have discussions with each other, including with our chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Directors have access to management at any time and are encouraged to have small group or individual meetings, as necessary. Additionally, high-potential employees join members of the Board for dinners prior to on-site Board and committee meetings. These dinners are designed to give directors the opportunity to engage with employees directly and afford employees an opportunity to ask questions and get to know our directors. 33 TABLE OF CONTENTS SUSTAINABILITY AT CF INDUSTRIES We believe we have an important role to play in solving some of the world’s greatest challenges, such as providing clean energy to the world, feeding a growing global population and protecting the environment. We also believe that our ability to integrate sustainable business practices into our strategy and operations is integral to delivering long-term value. That is why sustainability is an inherent part of how we run our business and part of our commitment to the communities where we live and work. Sustainability Focus At our core, CF Industries is a producer of ammonia. We use the Haber-Bosch process to fix atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen from natural gas to produce anhydrous ammonia, whose chemical composition is NH 3 . We sell the ammonia itself or upgrade it to products such as granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution and diesel exhaust fluid. A majority of the ammonia and ammonia-derived products we manufacture are used as fertilizer, as the nitrogen content provides energy essential for crop growth. Other important uses of our products include emissions control. Our strategy is to leverage our unique capabilities to accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy. We believe this strategy builds upon our leadership in ammonia production to capture emerging opportunities to produce ammonia with a lower carbon intensity (“low-carbon ammonia”) than that of ammonia produced through traditional processes. These opportunities include traditional applications in agriculture to help reduce the carbon footprint of food production and the life cycle carbon intensity of ethanol production, enabling production of sustainable aviation fuel, among other purposes. These opportunities also include new growth opportunities from energy-intensive industries, such as power generation and marine shipping, as ammonia represents an efficient mechanism to both ship and store hydrogen, as well as a clean energy fuel source in its own right as ammonia does not contain or emit carbon when combusted.
