How does Corning ensure responsible corporate governance?
At Corning Incorporated, our commitment to strong, responsible corporate governance begins with our Board of Directors. Each Board member is vitally concerned that we preserve the integrity that has characterized our company for more than 150 years. Our basic board structure — with 12 of our 16 directors being outsiders to Corning — provides a unique and objective point of view in the way we operate the company. The Board’s audit committee (made up entirely of outside directors) closely reviews all annual report data and ensures our compliance with laws and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Integrity has always been one of our Values; it is the foundation of our reputation and one of our most precious assets. We govern ourselves with a rigorous system of checks and balances to ensure utmost compliance to fair and honest business practices. This ensures that our integrity is never compromised.
