, in determining his or her ability to serve effectively. Directors must be willing and able to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively and have the intention to serve an appropriate length of time to make a meaningful contribution to the Board and the Company. A director is expected to engage in discussion with the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee prior to accepting an invitation to serve on an additional public company board or accepting an invitation to chair a committee of a public company board on which he or she currently serves. Director Orientation and Continuing Education Management, working with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, provides an orientation program for new directors to facilitate integration into their roles. The program acquaints new directors with the Company’s business, history, vision, noble purpose, strategic direction and plans, competitive landscape, core values, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Insider Trading Policy, other corporate governance practices, financial, accounting, and risk management matters, key policies, sustainability strategy, senior leadership, and internal and independent auditors. The program consists of, as appropriate, a comprehensive review of background materials, briefings by senior management, and visits to Company facilities. The Board also developed a mentoring program to provide additional support and resources to new directors. Based on the feedback from our directors, we believe this onboarding approach provides new directors with a strong foundation for understanding our businesses, connects directors with members of management with whom they will interact, and accelerates their effectiveness to engage fully in Board deliberations. Directors are also encouraged to participate in continuing director education programs to help them stay current on emerging practices and issues and in carrying out their responsibilities. These programs include formal education sessions with management or third-party subject matter experts that may occur as part of regular Board or committee meetings, and participation in industry forums on business, financial, accounting, legal, and other subjects relevant to the Company’s business. The Company reimburses reasonable costs and expenses incurred by directors for continuing education that provides updates on issues and programs relevant to public companies and their directors. Board, Committee, and Peer Evaluation The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is essential to good governance and enhanced effectiveness. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee organizes and oversees an annual evaluation by the Board and its committees of their performance. The evaluation facilitates an examination and discussion by the entire Board and each committee of its effectiveness in fulfilling its charter requirements and other responsibilities, its performance as measured against the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, and areas for improvement. The evaluation also includes individual director assessments
