Diversified believes a business is only as strong as its governance, and we recognize the need to integrate a robust reporting and governance framework across our business. We find ourselves in the front lines of balancing the three fundamental elements of good governance: to deliver business growth, build trust, and maintain a dynamic management framework.
Our Policies
Our corporate policies are reviewed and approved by our Board annually reflect our commitment to our environment, surrounding communities, and operating in an ethical and responsible manner.
ESG Oversight Approach
Our ESG oversight approach ensures the priorities identified by leadership are ultimately acted upon. Our Board of Directors’ Sustainability & Safety Committee oversees and is accountable for many ESG-related efforts, with overall responsibility for sustainability and safety residing with our Chief Operating Officer and senior leadership team.
2022 Sustainability & Safety Committee Actions
The committee represents the Board and shareholders in its oversight of all sustainability and safety efforts. Every year the committee focuses on relevant and emerging areas to improve and oversee DEC’s actions around all ESG-related matters.
Process Safety
The Senior Vice President of EHS presented an overview of the Company’s process safety approach and identification of high-risk facility performance, as well as comparable performance benchmarking against industry peers.
Corporate Scorecard Metrics Oversight
The committee reviewed the quantitative and qualitative drivers impacting the Group’s personnel safety, emissions management, environmental performance, and asset retirement metrics that support performance analysis.
ESG Rating Agency Engagement
The committee reviewed the Company’s various third-party ESG rating scores, including analysis of the process and review of scorecards to determine targeted areas of improvement.
Climate Risk
The committee engaged the support of industry and internationally recognized consultants and advisors to help the Company update its climate scenario analysis and advance its work on climate governance, strategy, risk management and metrics as set forth under the TCFD.
Risk Management
Our enterprise risk management (“ERM”) review process is centred around the monitoring and evaluation of our risk control and mitigation efforts. Under the oversight of our Board-level Audit & Risk Committee, and as part of an ongoing effort to improve internal risk controls, our risk management process is regularly evaluated and updated to ensure the process is keeping pace with developments in the Company, industry and broader stakeholder expectations.
Cyber Security
We have implemented a best-in-class, 100% cloud platform for our information systems and cybersecurity defenses to ensure we achieve our growth and efficiency objectives.
