CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Shareholder Outreach We have long believed that the delivery of sustainable, long-term value requires regular dialogue with, and accountability to, our shareholders. To help ensure that management and the Board understand the issues that matter most to our shareholders, we conduct proactive shareholder outreach throughout the year. Our core team for governance engagements includes senior members of our Corporate Secretary’s office, investor relations team and sustainability team, and in many cases includes our independent Board Chair or other directors, as appropriate. Our Board has a consistent record of discussing and acting upon shareholder feedback. Recent Board discussions have addressed shareholder feedback on a variety of topics, including Board composition, CEO and management succession planning, safety and quality initiatives, executive compensation, human capital management, and sustainability, often resulting in changes to our policies and practices as well as guiding the focus of future discussions in the boardroom.
