Delta Dental's Commitment To Corporate Governance
Delta Dental of Colorado's Board of Trustees upholds the highest commonly accepted standards of business ethics in all of the decisions and actions taken in carrying out their duties. These standards are carried out throughout the organization by its officers, employees, agents and business associates. High ethical standards and maintenance of Delta Dental's excellent reputation are of utmost importance to the Board of Trustees in all its activities designed to help achieve the company's mission.
The trustees of Delta Dental have developed a program of corporate governance that oversees the company's legal and ethical compliance in all financial matters.
The duty of loyalty dictates that a trustee must act in good faith and must not allow personal interests to prevail over the interests of the company. The duty of care requires trustees to be diligent and prudent in managing the affairs and business interests of the company. These duties are given high consideration in nominating trustees for the Delta Dental Board and in evaluating each trustee's performance annually.
Delta Dental's corporate governance structure includes our Board of Trustees and its committees, including Audit, Investment and Finance; Compensation; Governance, and Professional Services. Each committee meets quarterly. The majority of our board members are independent.
