“Our business culture and practices are founded upon a common set of values that govern our relationships with customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. These values include integrity, honesty and responsibility in all business dealings. Our Board of Directors is guided by these same values. Our board first adopted governance principles more than 40 years ago, and these principles continue to be refined. We have an extremely well-qualified, independent board of directors that is dedicated to the best interests of all shareholders.” —Bill Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer
