Board Skills & Experience

Our Board’s composition represents a balanced approach to director tenure, allowing our Board to benefit from the institutional knowledge of longer-serving directors combined with the perspectives of newer directors. Our Board and the Nominating, Corporate Governance & Social Responsibility Committee are committed to recruiting directors who help achieve the goal of a well-rounded, diverse Board.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our Board and the Committee consider, among other factors:

 

• whether the individual meets the applicable requirements for independence;
• the individual’s general understanding of the various disciplines relevant to the success of a large publicly traded company in today’s global business environment;
• the individual’s understanding of our businesses and markets;
• the individual’s professional expertise and educational background; and
• other factors that promote diversity of views and experiences.
