18 Advancing Impact Through Partnerships We are focused on helping consumers understand that with the circularity of metal packaging, every recovered can is capable of being—and will be—transformed into another product. If consumers continue to recycle at increasing rates, the impact on resource preservation and reuse will be tremendous. We are working to make recycling as easy, accessible and practical as we can by collaborating with our suppliers, customers and other industry partners around opportunities to establish greater consumer accessibility and incentive for more effective recycling. A full list of our industry association memberships can be found on our website. To further accelerate our impact, we also support multiple global initiatives that are paving the way toward carbon neutrality. Initiatives we are proud to support include: 3 4 Corporate Governance Operating as a responsible organization hinges on a well-established system of governance principles and accountability structures. Ultimate responsibility for setting business policies for the Company is held by our Board of Directors , who are accountable to shareholders for the Company’s performance. In the best interest of the shareholders and other constituents, the Board selects and controls the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, confirms that appropriate corporate procedures and controls are in place and approves the foundational policies that are intended to ensure ethical operations within the Company. The Board has established Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters for each of our three Committees (Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee). The guidelines and the charters are publicly available in the Corporate Governance section of our Company website . See the next page of this report for more detail about how our Committees get involved in our sustainability strategy.
