Promoting the best interests of Mercer and its shareholders by overseeing the management of the Company’s business and affairs

Commitment to Good Governance & Independent Board

At Mercer, we prioritize good governance with a modern framework of policies and structures. Our 11-person independent Board exemplifies fundamental governance principles:

  1. Separate Chair and CEO roles.
  2. All Board members, except the Chair and CEO, are independent.
  3. Independent members serve on the Audit, Compensation, and Governance Committees.
  4. A dedicated Environmental, Health, and Safety Committee ensures our focus on ESG performance.
  5. We’re proud three of our Board members are women, promoting diversity and inclusion.

Shareholder Approval

During the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, proposals for consideration, including Board nominees, auditor appointment and executive compensation, achieved approval by shareholders.

Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., a leading shareholder advisory services firm, supported all proposals by the company and assessed its governance score as “Low Risk.”

Our goal is to ensure that our stakeholders have confidence in the integrity of our people, processes, and assets.
