Public Responsibility Committee |
 |
|
In 2003, United led the industry by establishing a Public Responsibility Committee (PRC) of the Board of Directors, which evaluates United's current social responsibility actions and public policies and recommends new policies and positions. The Committee:
- Oversees the identification, evaluation and monitoring of the domestic and international social, political and environmental trends, issues and concerns;
- Reviews and recommends basic policies, positioning and practices concerning broad public policy issues, including those that relate to:
- Safety (including workplace safety and security) and the environment;
- Political and governmental policies;
- Consumer affairs;
- Civic activities and business practices that impact communities;
- Charitable, political, social and educational organizations.
- Reviews and makes recommendations concerning our general philosophy regarding diversity, including our company policies and practices in areas other than employee diversity.
