We are committed to creating an environment that promotes our Core Values and encourages employees

Ethics), company policies and applicable law. Employees may report any known or suspected violations to a
manager, human resources, a member of the legal or internal audit team, or our ethics hotline operated by an
independent third party. Our Code of Ethics prohibits retaliation against employees for reporting information or
raising questions in good faith. You may find information on contacting our board or ethics hotline here.
Our company and board have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion at all levels of our company, including at
the highest level at our board. This is evidenced by the diversity of our board as a whole as well as the diversity
