Committee Charters
To effectively carry out certain of its responsibilities, the MDS Board has delegated some of its duties to four specific committees of the Board. Each of the committees has written charters which set out their principal duties and responsibilities and which are reviewed annually. The Audit, Corporate Governance & Nominating and Human Resources & Compensation and Environmental, Health & Safety Committees are comprised entirely of independent or unrelated directors. The composition of each committee is reviewed periodically to generate fresh input and diversity of expertise. The existing committees and their responsibilities are as follows:
