Governance
Our ESG programs are overseen by our Board’s ESG Committee, which meets at least quarterly to review ESG progress and provide strategic guidance. In addition to our Board Committee, our ESG governance structure includes the following groups and teams.
The ESG Committee of our Board of Directors
The Committee provides oversight of our Four Seasons for Good program, and meets quarterly to review progress against our Four Seasons for Good objectives and to provide strategic guidance.
The ESG Steering Committee
Comprising our CEO and members of our Executive Leadership Team, this committee meets quarterly to oversee our Four Seasons for Good strategy and ensure alignment with our overall corporate strategy and operational needs.The ESG Core Team
Composed of departmental leaders responsible for developing our Four Seasons for Good programs and related strategy, this team meets regularly to track progress, troubleshoot and support the ongoing implementation of our strategy.Four Seasons for Good Working Groups
We have two such groups, each responsible for one of our core Four Seasons for Good strategy pillars: People and Planet. The Social Working Group is responsible for our People efforts, which includes our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging engagement programming. Each working group includes leaders responsible for implementing programs across our global operations.
Across all levels of the business, leaders collaborate and are actively committed to the success of our Four Seasons for Good program. Senior leaders establish Four Seasons for Good objectives annually; these goals are then translated into property-level goals and Key Performance Indicators. Progress against both the property-level and corporate-level goals is reviewed by Four Seasons leadership on a quarterly basis.
