Greenbrier operates a Political Action Committee (PAC) to support its governmental affairs activities. Only a small number of senior managers and directors are eligible to participate and donate to the PAC. The purpose of the PAC is to support issues that directly impact Greenbrier's business and the freight transportation industry. A detailed report of our PAC activities can be [found on the FEC website.](https://www.fec.gov/) [...] Greenbrier participates in a number of trade associations, industry groups and nonprofits across North America. These organizations offer an array of benefits, including sharing best workplace practices and safety protocols. Greenbrier also works in concert with other similarly situated organizations and employers to develop policy recommendations on rail infrastructure investment, railroad equipment regulation, and national and international trade policies and finance issues. We strive to ensure any policy differences that Greenbrier may have with these broad member-based organizations are balanced against the productive value of our continued participation in each organization. Greenbrier reviews its participation in these organizations as memberships come up for renewal.
