We consider the input of our shareholders, along with emerging best practices,
to ensure alignment of our executive pay programs with shareholder interests.
At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 74% of the shares cast voted in
favor of the advisory vote on executive compensation, or Say On Pay vote. Our
robust shareholder engagement program and the changes that we have made in
light of feedback that we received demonstrates a high level of responsiveness
to the needs and concerns of our shareholders. Our shareholders are supportive
of the changes that we have made.
In addition, we received a shareholder proposal with respect to our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders requesting the
establishment within a year of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets that received 32% support from our shareholders.
