Shareholder Engagement Program

We actively seek and highly value feedback from our shareholders. During 2024, in addition to our traditional Investor Relations outreach efforts, we engaged with shareholders representing approximately 25% of our outstanding shares on topics including our business strategy and financial performance and our governance, executive compensation and sustainability programs. Attendees included members of our senior management and, in some cases, members of our Board of Directors. We shared feedback received during these meetings with the applicable Board committees, informing their decision-making.
