believe diverse and inclusive boards and teams are a source of competitive
advantage. When all individuals feel a sense of belonging and inclusion,
diverse voices are heard which enhance problem solving, error detection and
decision-making. Diversity among members of our Board of Directors and Senior
Management team is integral to our effective stewardship of the Company for the
benefit of all our stakeholders. To demonstrate our commitment to building a
diverse and inclusive culture for all employees, the Board and Senior
Management have a Diversity Policy.
Majority Voting Policy
To show that each director has the confidence and support of our shareholders, we have a majority voting policy in place. This gives our shareholders the opportunity to vote for each director on an annual basis and ensures each director is voted in under a majority.

Independent Chair
Our corporate governance policies explicitly require the Chair of our Board to be independent, as well as all members of our board committees. An independent director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with Eldorado that could interfere with their ability to offer objective judgement.
All of our Directors are independent as defined by corporate governance standards developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the New York Stock Exchange.
