MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE / EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION LINKED TO ESG METRICS

Towards further ensuring that the Company’s sustainability goals are advanced, Management is held accountable for the achievement of these goals, with executive compensation tied in with the managing of identified material Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) issues.
