 Company and contribute to long-term stockholder value creation. To that end, we continuously assess the risks our employees face at each of our facilities, and we work to mitigate those risks through frequent training, appropriately tailored operating procedures and other preventative safety and health programs. We further emphasize the importance of our safety culture by including multiple safety performance goals in our AIP to further incentivize our executives to champion a safe working environment, and to align a significant amount of their annual cash compensation to the achievement of these goals. We are also mindful of the environmental impact of our operations and seek to minimize waste from our operations and promote the responsible use of energy and raw materials. We are committed to pursuing the highest possible environmental standards acrossall our operations, as evidenced by our continued focus on reducing the carbon intensity of our aluminum products and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions where feasible. We seek to mitigate our impact on the environment through a variety of methods, including through the use of renewable energy sources to generate power for certain of our operations, the responsible and efficient management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and the sustainable recycling and disposal of aluminum and other by-products produced during the aluminum production process. In addition, in the United States, we continue to advocate and encourage our electric power suppliers to increase their use of renewable energy sources. Our aluminum smelter in Grundartangi, Iceland (“Grundartangi”) is ASI Certified and produces a low-carbon aluminum product called Natur-Al™, with energy generated from 100% renewable sources. As a result, Natur-Al™ aluminum is one of the lowest carbon intensity aluminum products in the world, accounting for less than 25% of the average carbon intensity associated with standard aluminum production. We continuously seek additional opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint through the use of technology and a rigorous focus on operational excellence. 2024 Stockholder Engagement We are committed to a robust and proactive shareholder engagement program. The Board of Directors values the perspectives of our stockholders, and uses this feedback on our business, corporate governance, executive compensation, and other matters during Board and committee discussions throughout the year. Maintaining an active dialogue with our stockholders is important to our commitment to deliver sustainable, long-term value. The Board and management actively seek to engage with stockholders on a variety of topics to better understand their questions and concerns, to seek input, and to provide perspective on Century’s policies and practices. We also will engage with proxy and other advisory firms that represent the interests of various stakeholders. Stockholder feedback is reviewed and considered by the Board
