ESG - Governance

Experienced Leadership

Our Board of Directors is comprised of multicultural, experienced and diverse professionals who come from a wide variety of backgrounds. With this breadth of diversity, the Board can provide experiential oversight that is very relevant to the different end-markets and geographic regions in which we operate. We also believe in fresh perspectives and 50% of our Board has been renewed in the past five years.
