| ​ | ​ | The Board with the assistance of its S&S Committee oversees environmental, health, safety and sustainability matters as an integral part of its oversight of Tidewater’s strategy and enterprise risks. These matters are critical to the Company’s strategic plans and, accordingly, are incorporated into regular Board and the S&S Committee meetings as well as the Board’s in-depth strategic review sessions. In addition, the Board’s structure is designed to provide the Board and its Committees with the appropriate oversight of relevant sustainability matters. For example, the S&S Committee reviews and monitors climate-related public policy trends and related regulatory matters and oversees Tidewater’s external reporting on sustainability matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities. | ​ | ​ |
