Environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
We are proud that our Board of Directors is among the most diverse of Fortune 500 energy companies. The differences in experience and expertise allow the Board to hear various perspectives from its members, leading to better outcomes and a more thoughtful decision-making process.
In addition to ten of our eleven directors being independent, our Board has a diversity of tenure, age, gender, and ethnicity, providing a complementary mix of experience and perspective among multiple dimensions of leadership. Further explanation of the skills we seek in our Board directors can be found in our proxy statement.
We continually evaluate the need for additional Board members whose skills and experiences will enable them to make meaningful contributions to our business, in line with our evolving strategy.
Transparency and reporting
We are committed to leading our sector in sustainability transparency and disclosure, and we follow the leading globally accepted frameworks and standards to provide key information to all our stakeholders.
