Northwestern Energy Group Inc

**Governance Pillar:** Our Board of Director's Governance committee is responsible for monitoring our ESG activities. In fact, ESG is now a standing item at each Board meeting during the Governance Committee. Other aspects of ESG, specifically those that are associated with our operations, are frequently addressed in our Safety, Environmental, Technology and Operations Committee. We established an ESG disclosure committee, chaired by the President and Chief Operating Officer. This committee meets monthly and is comprised of ESG subject matter experts throughout the company.

The Governance Committee also reviews and oversees our position on corporate social responsibilities, such as public policy issues that significantly affect us, and our shareholders, customers, and other key stakeholders.
