Typically, environmental metrics are focused on the operational risk of raw material suppliers and polymer manufacturers – and the impact those products have on the planet. When identifying organizations within the value chain – whether it be a raw material supplier, polymer manufacturer, or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) – it can be helpful for each to be aligned on ESG metric goals.

In general, nominees are selected on the basis of the following criteria, among others: business or professional experience; knowledge and skill in certain specialty areas such as accounting and finance, international markets, physical sciences and technology, or the specialty materials industry; personal characteristics such as ethical standards, integrity, judgment, leadership, and the ability to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the Company; substantial accomplishment with demonstrated leadership capabilities; freedom from outside interests that conflict with the Company’s best interests; the unique backgrounds and experience they will bring to the Board, including differences in viewpoint, background and skill; and the needs of the Company from time to time.
