. The Governance Committee also provides oversight on management and director succession, risk management and environmental, social and governance matters.The Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become directors and, as appropriate, recommends candidates to the Board for its approval and nomination. Board composition is reviewed regularly to ensure that the Board possesses the knowledge, experience, and skills necessary to enable the Board to fulfill its duties. The Governance Committee’s charter requires that the Governance Committee take diversity of directors into account in the candidate selection process. The Board considers factors such as a potential candidate’s experience, judgment, integrity, and independence in making director nominee recommendations. Other important criteria include a deep understanding of the Company's business and markets, technology, manufacturing or research and development experience, other expertise relevant to the Company’s global operations, and the ability and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties. The Governance Committee generally relies on multiple sources for identifying and evaluating Board nominees, including referrals from the Company’s current directors and management. The Governance Committee also considers recommendations by shareholders with respect to elections to be held at an Annual Meeting, so long as such recommendations are sent on a timely basis to the Company’s Corporate Secretary and are in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws. The Committee will evaluate nominees recommended by shareholders against the same criteria as it evaluates other nominees. At the direction of the Board, the Governance Committee manages the CEO selection process, and ultimately recommends one or more candidates for consideration by the Board.The Governance Committee is responsible for providing oversight and policy direction on the Company's risk management policies and programs, including those relating to cybersecurity. The Charter of the Governance Committee specifically requires the Committee to periodically review the Company's enterprise cybersecurity strategy and framework. This includes the Company's assessment and management of cybersecurity threats and risks, data security programs, applicable laws and regulations, and the Company's management and mitigation of cybersecurity and information technology risks and potential breach incidents, including our incident response plan. |
