Board of Directors
Sorbtree Corporation is fortunate: We have highly qualified directors. Our Board is a healthy mix of skills and expertise, with diverse backgrounds, talents and perspectives working together. We are fortunate in another way, as well: We saw the need for an increased focus on corporate governance long before many companies found themselves having to scramble to fulfill regulatory or investor requirements in the wake of the dot-com bubble, a global economic downturn, or — in a few memorable headlines — financial and ethical failures.
Our Directors and Corporate Governance Committee has been responsible for reviewing and articulating the Board's governance practices and for performing functions such as periodically assessing the independence of directors, and reviewing and considering Sorbtree Corporation's position and practices on significant issues of corporate responsibility.
The men and women on our board are a reflection of Sorbtree Corporation: we are a global business, working with clients and partners from a broad range of industries, educational institutions and not-for-profits. And they represent our shareholders throughout the year, working to keep Sorbtree Corporation financially sound, legally compliant and socially responsible.
In the end, the work of earning investor confidence transcends external rules, controls and oversight. Confidence rises and falls based on the core values and standards of behavior expected of leaders, and of every individual in the corporation.
This onus falls squarely on corporations, their boards, their management and every employee — not as impersonal institutions or representatives of them — but as people. In the end, this is a question of values, not of process.
