 include participation by certain members of our board of directors. Director participation will continue to be part of our engagement program in fiscal year 2026. What we learn through our ongoing engagements is regularly shared with our board of directors and incorporated into our disclosures, plans and practices, as appropriate. For example, over the past year, investors have continued to seek a better understanding of ADP’s cyber, data security and artificial intelligence (“AI”) oversight and practices. Our board of directors recognizes that security is integral to our products, our business processes and infrastructure. We have an enterprise-wide approach to security with the objectives of protecting client data and funds, and preventing security incidents that could adversely affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems and data that resides in those systems, while also improving our system resilience with the aim of minimizing the impact to our business when incidents do occur. Our global data privacy and governance team, in cooperation with the chief data office, is responsible for our AI ethics and governance program, which drives compliance with AI ethical principles and regulatory requirements in development and usage of AI systems, including generative AI tools. More information on these matters is available on our corporate website, at www.adp.com. To access this information, click on “About” then “Data Security” or “Data Privacy” as appropriate. Further detail is also available in our Global Corporate Social Responsibility Report on investors.adp.com.
