Our Board is responsible for the governance of the company in the best interests of its shareholders and the company as a whole. It selects the CEO, works with the Senior Leadership Team to establish the company's strategy, and oversees management in the execution of the company's strategy and reporting to stakeholders.
Rayonier recognizes that operating responsibly—minimizing the environmental impact of our operations and respecting human rights by creating an environment of respect, integrity, and fairness for our employees, contractors, and customers wherever we do business—is fundamental to our long-term success. In 2019, our Board recognized the need to formalize this long-standing commitment and allocated specific focus on ESG matters to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The committee refers ESG matters to the full Board as appropriate.
