Governance
Corporate Responsibility Governance and Management
Our Board of Directors oversees the Company’s corporate governance strategy, policies and programs and monitors emerging best practices in corporate governance. Members of our Board serve on various committees, including those with oversight for our ESG strategy and objectives. Wendy’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer jointly lead our ESG Steering Committee, which is made up of senior management personnel and is responsible for key aspects of our program. Cross-functional working groups support the ESG Steering Committee in shaping and carrying out our global ESG strategy and Good Done Right goals.
Stakeholder Engagement
Wendy's strives to connect with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders so they can provide input on our sustainability strategy and actions. We have outlined our key stakeholder groups, with examples of how we engage with each group broadly, and specifically with respect to our Good Done Right platform.
Materiality
Our material issues are those that matter most to our stakeholders and subsequently impact the Company's value drivers, competitive position and long-term value creation, and those that we can most materially have an impact on. We reassess these issues periodically, most recently in 2024, to help verify that we prioritize the issues that have the greatest impact on the economy, society and the environment, while at the same time are financially material for our business.
