Board of Directors
At EDC, the Board of Directors is composed of a diverse and balanced mix of competent individuals, where each member contributes their considerable know-how, experience, and independent judgment when formulating sound corporate strategies and policies for the company.
Our Nomination and Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the qualifications of each nominee, including independent directors. Each one is selected on the basis of their knowledge, experience and skills in various fields relevant to our business.
Independent directors are independent of management with a 9-year term limit. He or she must be free from any business or other relationship with the company which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities in the role.
Currently, the board has 27.3% independent directors. This is more than the minimum regulatory requirement of at least 2, or 20% of the board, whichever is higher. All EDC Directors are active participants during Board and Board Committee meetings, as well as in major corporate undertakings.
Mr. Oscar M. Lopez will continue as Chairman Emeritus of the Energy Development Corporation.
