Governance
We look for the most qualified candidate. To maintain the right balance of knowledge, experience, background and capabilities, the board looks for individuals who have been directly involved in the challenges relating to setting the strategic direction and managing the processes of large, complex organizations, which includes governance and sustainability matters. Diversity of viewpoints, gender and ethnicity, and standards of integrity are also among the items we consider.
The board prefers a mix of background and experience among its members. The board does not follow any ratio or formula to determine the appropriate mix. Rather, it uses its judgment to identify nominees whose backgrounds, attributes and experiences, taken as a whole, will contribute to the high standards of board service at the company. The board actively seeks women and minority candidates for the pool from which board candidates are chosen. Maintaining a balance of tenure among the directors is also part of the board’s consideration. Longer-serving directors bring valuable experience with the company and familiarity with the strategic and operational challenges it has faced over the years, while newer directors bring fresh perspectives and ideas. To help maintain this balance, the company has a mandatory retirement policy, pursuant to which directors cannot stand for election after reaching age 75. The effectiveness of the board’s approach to board composition decisions is evidenced by the directors’ participation in the insightful and robust, yet respectful, deliberation that occurs at board and committee meetings and in shaping the agendas for those meetings.
The board believes that having an independent lead director, combined with its other practices, such as regularly providing an opportunity for the independent directors to influence the proposed strategic agenda for future meetings and holding an executive session of the independent directors at each board meeting, allows it to maintain the active engagement of independent directors and appropriate oversight of management. The lead director is elected by the directors annually and performs a variety of duties stated in the board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
We have had an Ethics Office since 1987. Through this office, any employee anywhere in the world can raise an issue on any subject and remain anonymous if they wish. The Ethics director will involve the right people to investigate and address the issue.
In addition, we have an accounting and audit hotline that allows anyone to communicate a concern regarding an accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matter to the Audit Committee of TI's board of directors.
