Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at SBA Communications

Environmental, Social and Governance Disclosures

SBA is proactive in identifying and managing environmental, social and governance risks on an ongoing basis, particularly risks that are most material to our company. We weigh the importance of such risks in relation to our shareholders and to our long-term business success. Our Board is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect SBA. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through Committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board satisfies its oversight responsibility through reports by each Committee chair regarding the Committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within SBA. While our approach to corporate responsibility continues to evolve, we remain focused on three core elements: our people, planet and philanthropy.

We are proud of the impact our employees have in supporting their communities. We offer team and individual volunteer time off each year as well as matching employee charitable donations. Dozens and dozens of diverse nonprofits have benefited over the years from the support of our employees. We empower our people to donate and volunteer to organizations of their choice, which meet our program guidelines. Participation is voluntary, but has continued to grow year after year. The main area of focus for our employees typically fall into four categories: Animals, Children, Health and Social Services. SBA is very pleased with our philanthropic endeavors and how our people truly “Change Lives”.
