We promote awareness of this Policy through onboarding materials, internal communications, and
targeted briefings for teams whose work may impact human rights (e.g., procurement, vendor

implementation. The Legal Department monitors adherence, reports material issues to the Board,
and coordinates annual review and public reporting. -
