Corporate Governance
Elected annually by shareholders, our Board of Directors includes four committees: HSE&CR, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Nominating & Governance Committee. In 2021, our Board met 15 times and had a 100% attendance record for the annual meeting, Board meetings and Committee meetings.
Ethics & Integrity
In 2021, 100% of all employees and full-time contingent workers completed the required ethics training courses. Also last year, we received 32 total complaints via our ethics hotline, which enables employees to anonymously submit issues or concerns — all of which were assessed and resolved.
Corporate Responsibility Oversight & Enterprise Risk Management
In 2021, we continued to advance our ESG policies and oversight, expanding ESG-related metrics in our executives’ bonus compensation by adding a methane intensity goal. Also in 2021, the weighting of ESG components increased from 10% to 15% of total bonus compensation.
