Corporate Governance

RPM aims to be among the very best companies in corporate governance. Since 1977, outside directors have comprised a majority of RPM’s Board of Directors, and only independent directors have served on the Board’s Audit and Compensation Committees. These best practices in corporate governance were in place at RPM nearly three decades before being required by the New York Stock Exchange. RPM’s operating company presidents and chief financial officers have supplied quarterly certifications of financial statements for more than a decade.
