At Enanta we believe we have a responsibility to our shareholders, employees and society. Our aspirations are to cure diseases, reward investors, behave ethically, appropriately assess and manage risk, and respect the environment and society from which we benefit. We consider our governance practices to be consistent with these principles and highlight our strong commitment to Enanta’s stakeholders to be good fiduciaries.
As part of our responsibility, the Board reviews matters related to environmental, social and governance issues, as well as adopting appropriate standards and other required metrics used to measure and track ESG performance and progress. Part of this includes the review of risk assessments and mitigation processes, such as the regular assessment of Enanta’s robust cybersecurity program and business continuity plan.
We invite you to review our governance documents, committee charters, policies and other information found on this corporate governance site and in our SEC filings.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your interest in, and support of, Enanta Pharmaceuticals.

Information Technology & Cybersecurity
For the protection of Enanta’s employees, partners, and the Company, we have created Information Systems Acceptable Use Policy and Information Best Practices Guidelines to set forth specific rules for acceptable use of a wide variety of communication tools and resources provided to employees for use in running day-to-day business activities. Such tools may include a telephone, voice mail, scanner, Internet, intranet, e-mail, text messaging, portable electronic devices, or any other Company-provided technology. Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of every Enanta employee and affiliate who deals with information and/or information systems. It is the responsibility of every computer user to know these guidelines and to conduct their activities accordingly.
Personal Information Protection / Written Information Security Program (WISP)
In addition to the requirements outlined in Enanta’s policies and procedures, we have developed and implemented a WISP to create effective administrative, technical and physical safeguards for the protection of personal information of our employees. Enanta’s WISP allows it to comply with our obligations under 201 CMR 17.00, which requires employers to establish standards for the protection of personal information of residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This program includes our procedures for evaluating our electronic and physical methods of accessing, collecting, storing, using, transmitting, and protecting personal information of residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
