Our Board of Directors and the Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board oversee Broadridge's ongoing commitment to environmental, social and governance matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities, relevant to Broadridge. In addition, one of Broadridge's Board members has been deemed to have competence on climate-related issues.
Our management-led ESG Committee regularly reports to the Governance and Nominating Committee and annually to the full Board on ESG matters. The ESG Committee also assists the senior management of Broadridge in:
1. Setting general strategy relating to ESG matters,
2. Developing, implementing, and monitoring initiatives and policies based on that strategy,
3. Overseeing communications with associates, investors, and stakeholders with respect to ESG matters, and
4. Monitoring and assessing developments relating to, and improving Broadridge's understanding, of ESG matters.
The ESG Committee is responsible for reviewing both internal and external targets, metrics, and goals related to ESG. For example, the ESG Committee is currently reviewing and developing a plan to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. In addition, the ESG Committee is also working to seek validation of near- and long-term emissions reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the next two years. We have also reviewed our climate-related initiatives and goals with the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board and the full Board.
