 of corporate conduct and compliance. We have adopted a Wesco Code of Business Conduct and a Global Antibribery and Anticorruption Policy which apply to our Board of Directors and all of our employees and cover all areas of professional conduct, including customer relations, conflicts of interest, insider trading, financial disclosure, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Director Independence Our Board has adopted independence standards that meet or exceed the independence standards of the NYSE, including the enhanced independence requirements for audit and compensation committee members. In addition, as part of our independence standards, our Board has adopted categorical standards to assist it in evaluating the independence of each of its Directors. The categorical standards are intended to assist our Board in determining whether or not certain direct or indirect relationships between its Directors and our Company or its subsidiaries are “material relationships” for purposes of the NYSE independence standards. The categorical standards establish thresholds at which any relationship is deemed to be material. Annually, the independence of each Director is reviewed, applying applicable independence standards. The review considers relationships and transactions between each Director and his or her immediate family and affiliates and our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Based on this review, our Board has affirmatively determined that the following Directors are independent: Messrs. Espe, Griffin, Nagarajan, Raymund, Singleton and Sundaram and Messes. Bryan, Cooney and Thompson. Director Qualifications Our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews with the Board at least annually the qualifications of new and existing Board members, considering the level of independence of individual members, together with such other factors, including overall skills and experience. Each Director’s particular and specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills which support his or her position as a Director on our Board include those that are identified in the Proposal 1 – Election of the Board of Directors section of this Proxy Statement.
