 and implementing our Sustainability strategies across our six ESG pillars.   Our Board of Directors, acting principally through its Governance, Nominating & Corporate Responsibility Committee, oversees our Sustainability program and ESG efforts, including our climate change policies and programs, with that Committee and the Compensation & Human Capital and Audit Committees each focusing on specified areas of Sustainability, including compliance and ethics, and human capital. Our Political Contributions Policy, which is posted in the Investor Relations section of our website, sets forth our policies regarding political contributions and membership in industry groups that further our business goals.  Our General Counsel and Independent Lead Director are responsible for ensuring that stockholder requests, recommendations and proposals are evaluated by the Governance, Nominating & Corporate Responsibility Committee, additional committees within the Board as appropriate, and then by the Board of Directors, if needed.

As described in our Sustainability Reports, our continued progress in key areas of ESG has earned recognition from various third parties. 

We use the standards and guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board industry specific standards and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures to inform our Sustainability disclosures included in this Annual Report, our Proxy Statement and our Sustainability Reports.  The “materiality” thresholds in those standards and guidelines may differ from the concept of “materiality” for purposes of the federal securities laws and disclosures required by the Commission’s rules in this Annual Report.  Moreover, the inclusion of Sustainability disclosures in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the Commission does not necessarily imply that we consider them to be material for purposes of the federal securities laws or the Commission’s rules and regulations governing such disclosure.

Our culture generates a collective passion, strength and determination to make an outsized impact, every day. 

Safety and Wellness

Employee safety and wellness--in both plants and offices--remain two of our highest priorities. We develop and administer company-wide policies to ensure the safety of each team member and compliance with OSHA standards.
