Our Board of Directors follows governance best practices to ensure that the Board continues to meet its commitment to thoughtful and independent representation of stockholder considerations. Through our framework of policies, processes and rules, we focus on providing sound oversight of management and our business strategies. The Board also ensures that there is alignment between the interests of management with those of our stakeholders.
Our Board is currently comprised of independent directors who meet the New York Stock Exchange definition of independence, with the exception of our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We also have a Lead Independent Director to provide the Company and the Board with strong leadership and appropriate independent oversight.
There are three Committees of the Board, each of which is comprised of independent directors:
Audit, Compensation, and Governance and Nominating. Each Committee has a Charter outlining its responsibilities.

Our Board adopted Broadridge’s Corporate Governance Principles to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its Committees, to promote the interests of our stockholders, and to ensure a common set of expectations as to how the Board and its Committees, individual directors, and management should perform their functions.
We believe good governance is integral to achieving long-term shareholder value. We are committed to governance policies and practices that serve the interests of Broadridge and its stockholders.
Our Board monitors developments in governance best practices to ensure that it continues to meet its commitment to thoughtful and independent representation of stockholder interests.

The responsibilities of our Board include oversight of Broadridge’s risk management processes.
Our Board has two primary methods of overseeing risk. The first method is through Broadridge’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, which regularly reports to the Board regarding the most significant risks facing the Company. The second is through the functioning of our Board’s Committees.
For more information on our ERM process and our Board’s oversight role, including oversight of ESG matters, see our Proxy Statement.
See Our Proxy StatementWe performed a materiality assessment to inform the Company’s ESG reporting and strategy. We solicited input from Company leaders regarding how ESG risks and opportunities could potentially affect the Company from the perspective of what is important to our key stakeholders as well as what is important to Broadridge as an enterprise. The assessment was completed during fiscal year 2022 and captures the ESG issues deemed to be important to the Company as of that time.
Broadridge is committed to conducting its business with uncompromising ethics and integrity. Our compliance program is designed to promote an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and compliance with all laws, regulations, and Broadridge policies. Maintaining the highest ethical standards and adhering to applicable laws is critical to our ability to do business and core to our culture.
Our standards for fair and ethical behavior for our management, associates and vendors are set forth in our policies, which include, among others, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Anti-Bribery Policy, Anti-Discrimination Policy, Anti-Harassment Policy, Political Contributions Policy, and our Human Rights Statement of Commitment, as well as a Vendor Code of Conduct, which sets forth our expectations for our vendors to meet our ethical standards.
Broadridge has a confidential Ethics Hotline, in addition to other avenues, to report ethics, policy, legal, or other concerns. Anyone who has knowledge of potential misconduct, unethical activity, or violations of Broadridge policies, procedures or applicable laws and regulations must promptly report such activity. Reporting can be done anonymously, where permitted by law. All reports will be promptly investigated. Investigations are managed by the Director of Compliance and will be conducted as confidentially as is practical given the situation. When requested, associates must cooperate with internal investigations and provide truthful information. Associates who have violated applicable laws and regulations or Broadridge policies and procedures will be accountable for their behavior consistent with the Company’s Corrective Action Policy, which includes disciplinary action up to termination of employment.
In addition, Broadridge conducts a risk assessment of its compliance program on an annual basis to identify material compliance risks, address changes in the business, and prioritize resources appropriately among compliance initiatives.
To keep associates aware of their personal responsibility for upholding our ethical standards and laws, Broadridge provides all associates with a series of annual compliance training courses and has instituted an escalation procedure to ensure timely completion.
Broadridge has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code) that outlines the policies, expectations and high standards everyone must follow at all times. Our Code is global and applies to everyone at Broadridge (from directors to new hires); associates in every role, at every level, and in all locations must adhere to it. We provide all our associates mandatory annual training on our Code and require them to review and acknowledge the Code annually.
Data security and mitigating information security risks in a constantly changing environment is a high priority and fundamental to Broadridge’s success. Broadridge handles confidential and proprietary information in accordance with applicable laws, its client contracts and internal policies and only provides information to third parties with a need to know in connection with their job or contract responsibilities and subject to confidentiality, appropriate security, and restrictions on use. To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, we maintain strong physical, technical, and administrative security practices, including protecting documents, limiting access to facilities, systems and data centers, and following proper disposal methods.

Broadridge does not tolerate any form of bribery and we are committed to complying with applicable anti-bribery laws. Our Anti-Bribery Policy takes into account applicable anti-bribery laws and sets out guidelines on how Broadridge associates and business partners should conduct themselves in line with such laws. The policy applies to all Broadridge associates and third parties who do business with or on behalf of Broadridge and extends to all Broadridge operations worldwide.

Broadridge does not tolerate discrimination or harassment in the workplace and the Company is committed to ensuring that all associates understand their rights and responsibilities under our policy against discrimination and harassment.
Broadridge is committed to combating slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chains. To that end, Broadridge has adopted a Human Rights Statement of Commitment to explain the steps it takes to monitor and eliminate the use of, or participation in, slavery or human trafficking throughout its business. The principles and requirements set forth in the statement are incorporated into Broadridge’s Vendor Code of Conduct, and Broadridge expects its suppliers and business partners to comply with the expectations and requirements set forth in the statement.
We believe it is in the best interests of Broadridge and its various stakeholders to engage constructively and responsibly in the public policy and political process to advance and protect our long-term interests.
Our Board has adopted a Political Contributions Policy to help ensure that any political contributions and expenditures are done in a manner consistent with the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of ethics and business integrity and to protect and enhance shareholder value. In addition, our Board has oversight responsibility for Broadridge PAC spending, corporate expenditures to influence public policy, contributions made to trade associations, and the Company’s lobbying priorities and activities.
Our vendors play an important role in helping to reach our goals of high ethical standards and compliance with laws and regulations. To that end, Broadridge has adopted a Vendor Code of Conduct that reflects the minimum standards by which vendors are expected to conduct themselves in connection with providing goods and services to Broadridge.
We own a portfolio of patents and patent applications to protect our intellectual property rights, in which we continually invest significant time, labor and other resources.
