 In pursuing this goal, we develop products and services that we believe have a positive impact on the world and further the long-term interests of our business, stockholders, and stakeholders. Our Board and its committees provide oversight over a wide range of matters, as part of our overall risk management efforts. Our Board oversees strategic, financial, and execution risks and exposures associated with our business strategy, product innovation, sales roadmap, policy matters, significant litigation and regulatory exposures, among others. Our Board also regularly reviews any risks that have been reviewed, assessed, and escalated to our Board from one or more of its committees. Each of our Board committees is responsible for overseeing risks and related exposures associated with their respective areas of responsibility, including:

| • | Our Audit and Compliance Committee has the primary responsibility for oversight of risks associated                           
 with, among other matters, data privacy and security, competition, legal, regulatory, compliance, civil and human rights, and 
 sustainability.                                                                                                               |
| • | Our Leadership Development, Inclusion and Compensation Committee oversees leadership development                              
 matters and human capital management, including workplace environment and safety, and corporate culture.                      |
| • | Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks and exposures associated with director                       
 and management succession planning, corporate governance, and overall Board effectiveness.                                    |
