Stakeholder Engagement Colgate strives to connect with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders so they can provide input on our sustainability strategy, particularly in terms of our targets. Our main stakeholder groups, with examples of our engagement approach for each group with respect to sustainability, are outlined below. Stakeholders Method of Engagement Our employees Frequent internal communication, employee engagement surveys, digital engagement tools such as MindSpark and LinkedIn-Elevate, geographic sustainability teams, internal subject matter experts, quarterly sustainability steering committee meetings and bi-annual webinars. We consider our employees to be one of the more important stakeholder groups, so in the last year, we implemented the Sustainability Global Collaborative, which meets quarterly to review best practices and key learnings. Our consumers Integrated marketing communications (including those addressing “brand purpose”), ongoing consumer dialogue, consumer surveys and social media and digital engagement. Our retail customers and partners Ongoing sustainability network groups, sustainability surveys and partnering with customers to encourage sustainable habits with consumers and promote more sustainable products. Our stockholders and the investment community We participate in direct engagement with a significant and diverse group of our stockholders, including during our annual stockholder engagement program, on topics important to them as well as to our Company. Such topics may include our governance practices, as well as environmental and social topics such as human capital management, DE&I and sustainability (including our priorities and progress). Government and regulatory bodies Ongoing monitoring of government and regulatory activity relevant to Colgate, as well as meetings and engagement through trade associations and partner NGOs.
