Kirby Corporation's Board of Directors oversees the Company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and disclosures. The Board is committed to elevating Kirby's leadership profile and reputation among our investors, government policymakers, stakeholders, and others on ESG issues and practices and believes the Company has a unique opportunity to be an industry leader on these important issues. [...] The Board's oversight of ESG is codified in the Governance Committee Charter. The Governance Committee meets quarterly to discuss ESG issues. In the past year, these meetings have included reviews of Kirby's ESG disclosures, including the 2020 Sustainability Report, external ESG ratings of the Company, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosures, and TCFD disclosures. [...] The Audit Committee oversees Kirby's management of enterprise risk, including climate-related risks and regulations that could impact the Company. [...] At the management level, climate-related risks and assessing opportunities ultimately reside with the Chief Executive Officer, who chairs the ESG Executive Committee. The Committee includes the segment presidents, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, Vice President and General Counsel, and Vice President of Investor Relations. Reporting to this Committee is a cross-functional team designed to advise executive leadership and the Board on managing climate and sustainability-related risks and assessing future business opportunities.

Our sustainability efforts and goals would not be possible without strong leadership and oversight. Kirby's Board of Directors oversees Kirby's performance and management of various ESG issues, including strategy, climate risks, human capital management, and cybersecurity. This past year, Kirby went a step further to reconstitute our Governance Committee as the ESG & Nominating Committee to better reflect its oversight and commitment to ESG issues. In its new form, the committee oversees the Company's sustainability report, climate change issues and disclosures including TCFD, board nominations, and diversity initiatives. [...] **Governance:** - Board oversight: - ESG & Nominating Committee  ESG issues - Audit Committee  Climate-related risk & opportunities - Management oversight: - Climate-related risk & opportunities - ESG/Sustainability issues
