BOARD DIVERSITY We value boardroom diversity as integral to effective corporate governance. We believe that board diversity – gender, race, age, insight, background, personality, and professional experience – is a necessity that improves the quality of strategic decision-making and long-term vision, and represents the kind of company we aspire to be. Over the past nine years the Board has made meaningful efforts to diversify board membership , increasing the percentage of women on our Board from 22 percent to 60 percent. In addition, in 2023, we began disclosing the demographic background and gender of each director nominee. This enhanced diversity has strengthened board-level expertise in critical areas
