### ENGAGING WITH SHAREHOLDERS
We value engagement with our shareholders and have a robust investor relations program throughout the year focused on business results and outlook. In addition, we communicate throughout the year with shareholders and other stakeholders on our corporate responsibility efforts, and the Board considers a range of stakeholder perspectives in discharging its oversight responsibilities. We engage with shareholders through various means, including in meetings, on calls, at conferences, via written and electronic correspondence, and through our corporate website and corporate responsibility report. The Board and Committees are periodically updated on these engagement efforts.
