"Sustainability is a foundational element of the EnLink strategies that we monitor at the Board level. It’s a natural fit, as safety, environmental performance, operational excellence, and people have long been focus areas for EnLink. In my time on the Board and as Chair of the Sustainability Committee, I’ve witnessed EnLink evolve its approach, creating actionable plans for improvement and adding sustainability-related risks within its enterprise risk management program so that EnLink is both seizing opportunities and avoiding pitfalls that emerge in today’s complex sustainability landscape.” – Deborah G. Adams, Director on the EnLink Board of Directors, Chair of the Sustainability Committee, and Member of the Audit Committee

EnLink’s Board of Directors (Board) engages with management to deliver value to our stakeholders.

Our Board provides general oversight of the business and affairs of EnLink, including overseeing our sustainability strategy through its Sustainability Committee and reviewing sustainability progress on a quarterly basis through reports from the Sustainability Committee.

Board Experience and Diversity

The directors on our Board have significant experience in the energy industry, in board service on other public company boards, and in sustainability-related matters.

On December 31, 2023, there were seven members of our Board, including:

  • Three independent directors¹
  • Two female directors
  • Two directors with ethnic diversity
  • One director under the age of 50, with a Board average age of 55.5

The Board and each of its committees perform a self-assessment annually to measure their effectiveness and identify opportunities for further improvement.

Board Committees and Charters

Our Board has four standing committees. The Audit Committee, Governance and Compensation Committee, and Sustainability Committee each meet quarterly. The Conflicts Committee meets on an ad hoc basis, when potential conflicts arise. All members of the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee are independent directors.

  • Audit Committee: Assists the Board in fulfilling legal, regulatory, and fiduciary obligations with respect to oversight of matters involving the accounting, auditing, financial reporting, disclosure, and internal control functions and is also responsible for implementing and maintaining processes and procedures to identify and manage risk associated with our business; all Audit Committee members are independent directors.
