Our ESG Governance

The ESG Task Force will ensure alignment with strategy, goals, regulation, and third-party standards, including Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
