Transparency is essential in our business.
We pride ourselves on our governance best practices and have consistently been recognized in this area. Our shareholders are provided regular reports and detailed disclosures on our operational and financial health, as well as our ESG+R efforts.
Strong oversight of company matters.
In aligning with our shareholders’ best interests, our independent Board of Trustees provide oversight, guidance and expertise on all company matters. The strength of our Board is a result of their experience and diverse backgrounds and skill sets. They ensure all areas of the company are considered in their decision-making processes. Our current Board committees include:
- Audit and Cyber Risk Committee
- Compensation Committee
- Nominating and ESG Committee
Prioritizing Stakeholders
When considering our stakeholders, we hold ourselves to the highest of standards and place distinct emphasis on maintaining best-in-class corporate governance, including compliance and ethics. We’ve set forth Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which also includes a Whistleblower’s Policy, that our company, employees and Board members must abide with to ensure we are acting in the most ethical way. Annual trainings are conducted each year for employees and Board members. Our suppliers must also adhere to the guidelines included in our Suppliers Code of Conduct.
Risk Management
We perform regular enterprise risk assessments and management succession planning. Our Audit and Cyber Risk Committee oversees all cybersecurity matters, including keeping the Board informed of cybersecurity issues and trends. Finally, our Stakeholder Engagement Policy discloses our processes when working with our key stakeholders.
Detailed disclosure and reporting.
We provide detailed disclosure on all business matters, including our ESG+R program. All company disclosure can be found throughout our website, including the SEC filings section of our website. We’ve been continually recognized for our strong disclosure policies and believe that comprehensive disclosure is an essential component of good corporate governance. As our ESG+R program has developed, we’ve enhanced our reporting protocols. We currently align with various disclosure frameworks to ensure we are reporting in the most effective way possible.
