CF Industries remains committed to implementing sound corporate governance practices that enhance the effectiveness of our Board of Directors and management team. The experience and diversity of our directors has been, and continues to be, critical to our success.
Board Oversight
Our Board plays an integral role in oversight of our ESG program and engages with senior management on a broad range of ESG topics. The four standing committees of the Board assist the full Board in its oversight role concerning the committee’s respective areas of responsibility.
Audit Committee
Reviews the integrity of our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control environment. The Audit Committee receives regular reports on the efficacy of our information security and technology risks.
Compensation and Management and Development Committee
Oversees critical areas within ESG relating to employee well-being initiatives. The committee supports the full Board with succession, development, and retention planning for the Chief Executive Officer, as well as other key executives and senior management.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
Oversees our governance structures and processes, including Board refreshment and succession planning.
Environmental Sustainability and Community Committee
Assists the Board with oversight of all aspects of the strategy and progress toward net-zero carbon emissions, sustainability activities and reporting, and the Company’s community involvement.
Management Oversight of ESG Goals and Progress
Our shareholders elect our directors to oversee management and ensure proper governance across all business functions. Our leadership team is responsible for delivering on our strategy, creating our culture, establishing accountability, and managing risk across the entire business and at every level within the organization.
Ethics in Our Supply Chain
Our supply chain management and procurement teams have a robust strategy to pressure test and manage our suppliers, including performing risk assessments, executing mitigation plans, and engaging with a cross-functional business continuity committee.
CF Industries assesses the ESG programs of our suppliers through the administration of EcoVadis’ annual questionnaire. In our assessment, we consider our suppliers’ commitment and performance in key ESG areas, including their emissions reduction goals, anti-harassment policies, and child labor policies.
