Board Committees

• The Audit Committee selects and oversees our independent auditors and reviews the scope and results of their annual audit, including its assessment of internal controls. This committee also reviews and discusses our internal assessment of our safety, security, and environmental measures as well as our employee legal, ethical and conduct complaints.
  
  
• The Compensation Committee establishes and implements our executive compensation objectives and approves all executive compensation. As part of this role, it also determines metrics for performance-based awards for executives.
  
  
• The Diversity Committee provides oversight, counsel, and guidance to senior management on issues related to diversity and inclusion, including employment policies, hiring practices and corporate procurement decisions.
  
  
• The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee establishes and implements appropriate processes for the board and its standing committees. It recommends candidates for director and officer positions and, along with the CEO, reviews our succession planning.
