All these Committees report to the Board, and their responsibilities are firmly in line with the business’ sustainability strategy.

Environment Social Governance (ESG) Committee's Sustainability Management

Our Environment Social Governance (ESG) Committee, led by Erania Brackett, is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of the company-wide sustainability strategy, as well as ensuring our business processes and practices, including decision-making, take ESG factors into account.

As Chair of the ESG Committee, Erania Brackett reports to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Together with the Human Resources Committee concerning social practices, these committees are responsible for overseeing all sustainability-related implementation plans.

The ESG Committee is composed of executive leadership and multi-disciplinary, management level subject-matter experts from Supply Chain, Operations, Employee Health and Safety, Marketing, Human Resources, Investor Relations, and Communications.

The ESG Committee meets on a monthly basis and updates the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee on pressing sustainability topics and issues, activities and performance, so it ensures active Board and Committee level oversight of the Company’s management of sustainability-related risks.
