The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for overseeing the primary operational, compliance, financial, strategic, and technological risks facing the Company, including the Company’s corresponding Enterprise Risk Management program (“ERM Program”). The Board of Directors uses the ERM Program to proactively identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate the primary risks, threats, and uncertainties that may impact the Company’s business objectives. Management has created an Enterprise Risk Council, composed of executive leadership. The Enterprise Risk Council coordinates with business leaders across the Company to assess and mitigate enterprise risks and provides periodic reports to the Finance and Risk Management Committee regarding its activities and findings. Management has further created cross functional risk working groups comprised of senior departmental leaders who meet quarterly to discuss internal and external developments and emerging and enterprise risks within each of the Company’s five primary risk categories.

Subject to the Board’s ultimate oversight and accountability, and notwithstanding its periodic receipt of reports and recommendations regarding ERM-related matters, the Board has delegated specific risk management oversight responsibilities to its various committees, as set forth below. The Board and its committees are authorized to engage outside advisors to assist in performing such risk management oversight duties, with the Board and the Finance and Risk Management Committee being further authorized to conduct related risk assessments at any time. The Company also made significant improvements to the ERM Program during 2023, including creating the cross functional risk working groups, creating a crisis management playbook, and developing quarterly and monthly metrics tied to our primary risks to facilitate monitoring. The Board has also implemented the additional risk management efforts with respect to technology and cybersecurity matters described further below.

View Committee Charters

The Board has delegated oversight of the ERM Program to the Finance and Risk Management Committee, including to:

• Request and receive periodic reports from management on the Company’s overall risk monitoring and mitigation activities, including but not limited to technology risks (related to cybersecurity, cyber incident response, information technology resilience, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s information technology policies);
• Discuss with management the relationship between the Company’s risk appetite and business strategies;
• Recommend to the Board processes and procedures for the ERM Program;
• Recommend to the Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee the specific Board committee that should be allocated the management and oversight responsibility for specific identified risk areas; and
• Assist the Audit Committee with its related responsibilities, including to review the Company’s major financial risk exposures.

The Board has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee to discuss the Company’s (i) guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and management, and (ii) major financial risk exposures and management’s efforts to monitor and control such exposures.

The Board has delegated oversight of the Company’s sustainability and climate change risks to the Governance and Nominating Committee, including (i) legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, (ii) volatility in energy prices, and (iii) business interruption for severe weather. Our management and employees otherwise collaborate to identify and mitigate any sustainability and climate change risks, with periodic reports also provided to the Board and the Finance and Risk Management Committee.

The Board has delegated responsibility to the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee to oversee the Company’s human capital management strategies and programs, as well as to review the Company’s compensation strategy, plans, and programs to ensure that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

The Board has delegated responsibility to the Safety Committee to oversee risk management related to the Company’s safety programs and practices. The Safety Committee has taken significant steps in 2023 to enhance its oversight of these areas, including increasing meeting cadence with regular updates provided on responsive actions in process, as well as recalibrating the incident management process to enhance fact finding, focusing on root cause analysis, and prioritizing corrective actions.

Technology and Cybersecurity Risk Management Efforts: We have implemented additional processes to address the significant technological and cybersecurity risks we face:

• Management provides periodic reports to the Finance and Risk Management Committee regarding (i) the primary technology risks impacting the Company, including regarding our systems, service resiliency, cybersecurity risks, and the related threat environment, with best practices, cyber readiness, and third-party assessment results also addressed as needed, and (ii) all material or potentially material cybersecurity incidents involving the Company, including root causes and identification of and progress towards remediation activities through completion;
• Our Chief Information Security Officer provides an annual report to the Board highlighting the emerging threat landscape, our progress executing on our defensive cybersecurity strategy, and a review of our cybersecurity incident investigation and response processes;
• Our Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer lead a team responsible for establishing enterprise-wide security strategy policy, standards, architecture, and processes, including tracking key risk indicators for our primary cybersecurity risks;
• All management employees receive mandatory training on how to identify potential cybersecurity risks and protect the Company’s resources and information which is supplemented by company-wide testing initiatives, including periodic phishing tests; and
• We use a risk-based information security program that helps (i) ensure our defenses and resources are aligned to address the most likely and most damaging potential attacks, (ii) provide support for our organizational mission and operational objectives, and (iii) keep us in the best position to detect, mitigate, and recover from a wide variety of potential attacks in a timely fashion.

Management has day-to-day responsibility for identifying, assessing, managing, and monitoring risks by utilizing enterprise risk management processes and controls, including the Enterprise Risk Council and cross functional risk working groups.

The Corporation has implemented the additional processes below to address the significant cybersecurity risks we face:

• management provides periodic reports to the Board on data protection and cybersecurity matters (in addition to reports provided to the Finance and Risk Management Committee);
• our Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer lead a team responsible for establishing enterprise-wide security strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes, and report to the Board on such matters;
• all management employees receive mandatory periodic training on how to identify potential cybersecurity risks and protect the Corporation's resources and information which is supplemented by company-wide testing initiatives, including periodic phishing tests; and

Each new director elected to the Board participates in the newly created NS OnBoard director orientation program, a structured and multi-dimensional process created to assist each new director to provide meaningful oversight as soon as possible following election to the Board. We view this as a strong governance practice overall that differentiates the Company as a potential destination for qualified Board candidates.

The NS OnBoard program consists of the following activities, among others:

• One-on-one meetings with the Board Chair and each Committee Chair to review Board and Committee processes and expectations;
• Multiple sessions with management to review the areas of greatest importance to the Company and its operations, including overall strategy, the competitive landscape, operations, human capital management, regulatory, sustainability, ethics and compliance, safety, information technology, and cybersecurity, among others;
• Site visits to provide enhanced visibility on employee training and railroad operations;
• Education and enrichment opportunities provided in each of the first two years on the Board; and
• A one-on-one meeting with the independent Board Chair after one year of service to review overall performance and development opportunities.

Directors also receive continuing education from time to time through presentations about the Company and new legal and regulatory developments relating to directors. Directors are otherwise encouraged to participate in outside director education seminars at any point during their tenure at the Company’s expense. In addition, directors periodically participate in site visits to our railroad facilities.

Norfolk Southern has a long history of shareholder engagement. We believe that regular engagement with our shareholders allows us to improve our decision making through better understanding of our shareholders’ priorities. During 2023, we expanded our existing shareholder outreach program and reached out to shareholders representing 55% of our outstanding shares, ultimately engaging with shareholders representing approximately 49% of our outstanding shares, a 16% increase from the previous year.

Our outreach program included meetings with members of our investor relations, finance, safety, sustainability, and legal teams, with our independent Board Chair, Safety Committee Chair, and our CEO participating in discussions with our largest shareholders. Our engagement team presented shareholder feedback to our Board of Directors and to our Governance and Nominating Committee or Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, as appropriate, for further consideration. Our Governance and Nominating Committee further reviewed the process for conducting this outreach program and the results of these shareholder meetings with our Board of Directors. Our investor relations team also regularly participates in investor conferences and has meetings with investment analysts and investors on topics relating to company financial performance to discuss our primary strategic and operational priorities.
