ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Ingevity maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ingevity's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of March 31, 2022, Ingevity's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ingevity's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level described above.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting.
We are implementing a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The implementation is expected to occur in multiple phases over two years beginning with our pilot deployment which occurred during the first quarter of 2022. Currently, we have had no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to this implementation, however, as the implementation progresses, we will give appropriate consideration to whether any process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
