The PAC annually solicits contributions from eligible employees and makes bipartisan contributions in compliance with local, state, and federal election laws.

The Governance Committee recognizes the importance of appropriate governance and risk management of the Company’s corporate political activities, and reviews activities for alignment with the Company’s business, strategy, and corporate values, as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
