Our corporate governance principles are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of our Board committees. The actions described in these documents -- which the Boards have reviewed and approved -- implement requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and, to the extent practicable, the Combined Code on Corporate Governance appended to the United Kingdom Listing Authority’s listing rules, as well our own vision of good governance.
We will continue to monitor governance developments in the United States and the United Kingdom to ensure a vigorous and effective corporate governance framework of the highest international standards.
